      Cook, Todd A.; Kim, Hong-Ryul; Louca, Loucas S. (Affiliation: Rutgers Univ., Piscataway, NJ, USA, United StatesCorrespondence Address: Cook, Todd A.Rutgers Univ., Piscataway, NJ, USAUnited States, 1995)
      N-body methods are used to simulate the evolution and interaction of galaxies. These simulations are usually run on large-scale supercomputers or on very expensive full-custom hardare. This paper presents an alternative ...

      Implementation of IEEE single precision floating point addition and multiplication on FPGAs 

      Louca, Loucas S.; Cook, Todd A.; Johnson, William H. (Affiliation: Rutgers Univ, Piscataway, United StatesCorrespondence Address: Louca, LoucasRutgers Univ, Piscataway, United States, 1996)
      Floating point operations are hard to implement on FPGAs because of the complexity of their algorithms. On the other hand, many scientific problems require floating point arithmetic with high levels of accuracy in their ...
