>"With their new hardware implementation, which was synthesized in a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), the Complutense team was able to compare computations done using 32-bit floats and 32-bit posits side by side. They assessed their accuracy by comparing them to results using the much more accurate but computationally costly 64-bit floating-point format. Posits showed an astounding four-order-of-magnitude improvement in the accuracy of matrix multiplication" This is nothing short of amazing! I can just imagine future GPUs on FPGA's using Posits rather than (now old!) IEEE floating point formats... (Also, on a probably unrelated note -- might Posits be where we get the future equivalent of Star Trek TNG's character Mr. Data's Positronic (Posit-ronic!) -- AI "brain" from? ???)
