Abstract

The responsivity was further improved with the posit™ format that replaced the IEEE 754 standard in 2017, offering more accuracy and broader uniformity across different systems. However, it is still less competitive than IEEE 754 in its functional units. HUB, introduced in 2016 to reduce the cost of hardware. This short introduces a new format, referred to as HUB posit, which is proposed to help reduce the posit units' hardware overhead. The results show that adders and multipliers are able to achieve area-delay product values lower than those of previous works of up to 15% and 12%, respectively keeping the same accuracy. In addition, the synthesis indicates that the operation of HUB posit units may be performed at higher frequencies than those of classical one.
