Assignment 6
Design of 16-bit Floating Point Multiplier
16-bit floating point format:
Sign bit
Biased Exponent: 8 bits
Mantissa Fraction: 7 bits
Normal numbers
The input and output operands are to be specified using either %B or %X format.
The %D format cannot be used.
Test cases:
Two pairs of numbers of the same sign
Two pairs of numbers of opposite sign
One pair of numbers for which the magnitude of the product of mantissas is
greater than 2.0
One pair of numbers for which the magnitude of the product of mantissas is
between 1.0 and 2.0
