IP CORE OVERVIEW
The DFPAU-DP is a Floating Point Arithmetic Coprocessor, designed to assist the CPU in performing floating point arithmetic computations. It replaces directly C software functions, by equivalent,
very fast hardware operations, which significantly
accelerate the system performance. It doesn’t
require any programming, so it also doesn’t require any modifications to be made in the main
software. Everything is done automatically during
software compilation, by the DFPAU-DP C driver.
The DFPAU-DP was designed to operate with DCD’s
DP8051, but can also operate with any other 8-,
16- and 32-bit processor. Drivers for all popular
8051 C compilers are delivered together with the
DFPAU-DP package. The DFPAU-DP uses specialized algorithms to compute math functions. It
supports addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division, square root and comparison. It has builtin conversion instructions from integer type to
floating point type and vice versa. The input numbers format conforms to the IEEE-754 standard.
The DFPAU-DP supports double and single precision real numbers, 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit integers.
Each floating point function can be turned on/off
at configuration level, providing flexible scalability
of the DFPAU-DP module. It allows saving silicon
space and provides an exact configuration required
by certain application.

LICENSING
Comprehensible and clearly defined licensing
methods without royalty-per-chip fees make use
of our IP Cores easy and simple.
Single-Site license option – dedicated to small and
middle sized companies, which run their business
in one place.
Multi-Site license option – dedicated to corporate
customers, who operate at several locations. The
licensed product can be used in selected company
branches.
In all cases the number of IP Core instantiations
within a project and the number of manufactured
chips are unlimited. The license is royalty-per-chip
free. There are no restrictions regarding the time
of use.
There are two formats of the delivered IP Core:
cs
rst
clk
VHDL or Verilog RTL synthesizable source code
called HDL Source code
FPGA EDIF/NGO/NGD/QXP/VQM called Netlist

Exponent – performs operations on exponent part of
number. The addition, subtraction, shifting, comparison and conversion operations are executed in this
module. It contains exponents and work registers.
Align – performs the numbers analyze against IEEE754 standard compliance. Information about the data
classes are passed as a result to appropriate internal
module.
Shifter – performs mantissa shifting, during normalization, denormalization operations. Information
about shifted-out bits, are stored for rounding process.
Control Coprocessor – manages execution
of all instructions and internal operation required, to
execute particular function.
Interface – makes interface between external device
and DFPAU-DP internal 32-bit modules. It contains
data, control and status registers. It can be configured
to work with 8-, 16- and 32-bit processors.

IMPROVEMENTS
The DFPAU-DP floating point instructions performance has been compared to standard C library
functions, delivered with every commercial C compiler. Each program was executed in the same
system environments. The number of clock periods
was measured between input data loading into
work registers and output result storing after operation. The results are placed in the table below.
Improvement has been computed as number of:
(NIOS-II CLK), divided by (NIOS-II+DFPAU-DP CLK),
required to execute particular instruction.
