EFFICIENT COMPUTATION OF A SHARED EXPONENT

EFFICIENT COMPUTATION OF A SHARED EXPONENT

Various example embodiments relate to computation of a shared exponent for numbers. A plurality of bit vectors may be obtained. A bitwise OR-operation may be performed for the plurality of bit vectors to obtain an auxiliary bit vector. The shared exponent may be then determined based on a position o...

Zusammenfassung:Various example embodiments relate to computation of a shared exponent for numbers. A plurality of bit vectors may be obtained. A bitwise OR-operation may be performed for the plurality of bit vectors to obtain an auxiliary bit vector. The shared exponent may be then determined based on a position of a most significant bit having value equal to one in the auxiliary bit vector. The representation for the plurality of bit vectors may be then determined based on the shared exponent. Apparatuses, methods, and computer programs are disclosed.
