Abstract
Aspects for converting floating-point numbers in a processor are described herein. As an example, the aspects may include receiving, by a floating-point number converter, an exponent bit length, a base value, and one or more first floating-point numbers of a first bit length. Further, the aspects may include calculating, by the floating-point number converter, one or more second floating-point numbers of a second bit length based on the exponent bit length and the base value, the one or more second floating-point numbers respectively corresponding to the one or more first floating-point numbers.
