US Patent Issued to Marvell Asia on Sept. 22 for "Circuit and method for floating-point addition" (Texas Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 24 -- United States Patent no. 12,743,250, issued on Sept. 22, was assigned to Marvell Asia Pte Ltd (Singapore).

"Circuit and method for floating-point addition" was invented by David A. Carlson (Haslet, Texas).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A circuit and corresponding method perform floating-point (FP) addition. The circuit computes exponent differences between exponents of a plurality of FP inputs and generates a plurality of aligned FP addends by aligning the plurality of FP inputs based on the exponent differences computed. The aligned FP addends of the plurality of aligned FP addends are at a higher FP precision relative to a lower FP precision of the plurality of F...
