Floating-point face-off, part 2: Comparing performance
I used to think that floating-point was not for Embedded Systems. Too slow, too much code overhead and rounding is always a problem. It turns out that while scaled integers still have a performance benefit, floating-point computations can be done with a surprisingly high performance these days on modern Embedded CPUs. This is true not […]
