A Latency-Effective Pipelined Divider for Double-Precision Floating-Point Numbers

Abstract

In this article, we propose an effective algorithm of pipelined dividers for double-precision floating-point numbers. This reduces the latency of the previous pipelined dividers without increasing the lookup table size. The experimental results show that the proposed divider reduces the overall latency up to 16% compared to the previous divider.
