Posit Numeric Unit

PNU is a stand-alone Coprocessor capable of doing real-number computation on posit operands.

Overview

PNU is a stand-alone Coprocessor capable of doing real-number computation on posit operands. It supports many operations such as Addtion, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Compares, Conversions, Fused operations, etc. It can be integrated with any Processor front-end with some glue logic.

CalligoTech demonstrated World’s first Posit-capable Coprocessor PNU at SCAsia in March’18, Singapore using FPGA Technology. Institute of High Performance Computing, IHPC was the first customer for PNU.

What’s Included?
