Optimizing Applications with Fixed-Point Arithmetic
Tuesday, 01 April 2008
My latest article, Optimizing Math-intensive Applications with Fixed Point Arithmetic from the April 2008 issue of Dr Dobb's Journal is now available online. (I originally had "Maths-intensive" in the title, being English, but they dropped the "s", being American).
In the article, I describe the fixed-point techniques I used to vastly improve the performance of an application using sines, cosines and exponentials without hardware floating point support.
