Abstract
A method for representing a plurality of data samples is disclosed. The method generally includes steps (A) and (B). Step (A) may generate an exponent common to all of the data samples using a circuit. Step (B) may generate a plurality of mantissae based on the exponent. Each of the mantissae generally corresponds to a different one of the data samples.
