1. Introduction The conventional floating-point operation system specified in IEEE Standard 754 comprises binary-number operation systems corresponding to data representation formats such as a ...

These variations substitute floating point multiplications with efficient binary operations using three fundamental concepts: binarization, bit packing, approximate power of two shifting.

Mangareva Island Wikimedia Commons Binary, or base two, is the number system that computer systems use, as opposed to the decimal, or base ten, system used in our day-to-day lives.

The natives of a remote Polynesian Island invented a binary number system, similar to the one used by computers to calculate, centuries before Western mathematicians did, new research suggests.
