Implementing arithmetic on computers/digital systems.
A forum for the discussion of implementing arithmetic functions in
digital computers (and other digital systems). There are many other
newsgroups which share a peripheral interest with this topic, but none
which deals precisely with the topic of implementing arithmetic (and
logical) functions on digital systems.
comp.arch.arithmetic deals with the topic of computer arithmetic at
several different levels, from the circuit level (how to build a faster
multiplier, for example) to the algorithmic level. Both hardware and
software implementations of arithmetic are approprate. Any problem
involving arithmetic or logical calculations is fair game for discussion,
whether it be ALU design, digital signal processing, cryptography,
minimization of logic equations, or anything else. This newsgroup is
also for the discussion of various protocols and standards relating to
computer arithmetic, such as IEEE Standard 754. In short, any topic
relevant to computer arithmetic/logic is acceptable in this newsgroup.
comp.arch.arithmetic serves all of those with an interest in computer
arithmetic, from undergraduates wondering what two's complement numbers
are, to seasoned researchers discussing the latest developments of the
field. No one should be made to feel unwelcome, simply due to a lack of
experience or knowledge of the topics covered. An FAQ is also avalible
for this group.
Generally, any post relating to computer arithmetic or logic is considered
acceptable. Posts which are not relevant to the topic at hand, or posts
which are excessively hostile, are considered unacceptable. Constructive
criticism of another's ideas/work are OK, flames are not. As comp.arch.
arithmetic is an UNMODERATED newsgroup, readers are expected to exercise
their own good judgment when posting. It is anticipated that the vast
majority of posters will be professional in their behavior, so moderation
is not necessary.
