fixed-point arithmetic [¦fikst ‚pȯint ə′rith·mə·tik] (computer science) A method of calculation in which the computer does not consider the location of the decimal or radix point because the point is given a fixed position. A type of arithmetic in which the operands and results of all arithmetic operations must be properly scaled so as to have a magnitude between certain fixed values. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Until now, performing matrix factorization and inversion in hardware has been difficult because the algorithms are complex and highly sensitive to numerical problems, particularly when using fixed-point arithmetic preferred in high-performance ICs. The DSP Studio Toolbox adds fixed-point arithmetic to MATLAB and supports common processor-specific operations, such as multiply with shift and saturate. After testing numerous competing products, we found the Filter Design Toolbox provided the best range of fixed-point arithmetic parameters, filter architectures and operational statistics," said Richard Hewitt, senior DSP and software consultant at Toracomm. |
