The FloPoCo open-source arithmetic core generator project started modestly in 2008 [1], with a few parametric floating point cores. It has since then evolved to become a framework for research on hardware arithmetic cores at large, including among others: LNS arithmetic [2], random number generators [3], elementary functions [4]–[9], specialized operators such as constant multiplication and division [10]–[13], various FPGA-specific optimization techniques [14]–[16], and more recently signal-processing transforms and filters [17], [18] (more references can be found on the project’s web site: http://flopoco.gforge.inria.fr/).
