GoFast® Floating Point Libraries
Description
GoFast® is a family of high-performance floating-point libraries designed for embedded applications. They
are ANSI C compatible and are designed to directly replace a C compiler’s runtime floating-point support
library or coprocessor). GoFast® boosts the performance of an application’s math calculations or
eliminates the need for hardware floating-point coprocessors, in order to reduce product manufacturing
cost. GoFast® libraries are reentrant.
Features
- Fast
- reentrant
- ROMable
- Designed for real-time embedded systems
Floating Point Technology
GoFast is based on US Software’s “Architecture Independent Technology” (AIT) and proven floating point
algorithms that the company developed for over a decade. The algorithms have been thoroughly tested
using automated methods. GoFast was specifically optimized and integrated for enhanced performance on
each supported processor.
“Link and Go” Compiler Solutions
GoFast libraries are specifically integrated for “link and go” operation with each compiler. See the list of
target processors and compilers supported, below.
Source Library Solutions
The GoFast IEEE 754 Floating Point Libraries are composed of single precision (32- bit format) and double precision (64-bit format) floating point routines delivered with full source code. Each library has been optimized for speed and space. Users are provided with immediate access to an array of floating point operations including add, subtract, multiply, divide, square root, sine, cosine, tangent, arctangent, exponentiation, log, natural log, and ASCII and integer conversion routines to and from the floating point format. Since source code is delivered, a GoFast® library can be customized to fit specific user application requirements.
Conformance and Testing
The accuracy of each GoFast Floating Point Library is within one (least significant) bit for arithmetic functions and two bits for transcendental functions, in most cases. The IEEE 754 Floating Point Format defines special representations for underflow, overflow, and invalid operation. The GoFast library routines use these formats and adhere to the IEEE 754 error handling procedures in all applicable cases. Quality assurance and testing procedures have assured proper product operation. In addition, each delivery includes target specific test programs assuring confidence of product installation and operation.
