Course Description:

🎓 Welcome to the World of Precision Computation!

In this comprehensive course, "Design a Floating Point Unit 2 - Multiplier," we embark on a journey through the intricate world of computer architecture. This is where theory meets practice, and you'll learn to design and simulate a single precision 32-bit floating point binary multiplier. With a focus on real-world application, this course will equip you with the knowledge to understand and implement complex mathematical operations within a Floating Point Unit (FPU).

What You'll Learn:

• Understanding the Basics: Grasp the fundamental principles behind floating point numbers and their representation in binary form.
• Visual & Intuitive Learning: Utilize my custom Microsoft Excel (VBA) tool to visualize the multiplication process of two 32-bit single precision floating point binary numbers, making complex concepts simple and clear.
• Mathematical Algorithm: Translate your understanding into a mathematical algorithm that can be implemented in a digital simulation tool called Logisim.
• Detailed Design Walkthrough: Follow step-by-step design instructions for the FPU in Logisim, with an explanation of how each section operates.
• Real-World Application: Apply the IEEE754 standard for single precision values, including handling of normal and subnormal numbers, special cases like +/- zero and infinity, NaN (Not a Number), correct subnormal rounding injection, and more.
• Hands-On Experience: Get your hands dirty with simulation files and the Excel VBA code I've developed to model the multiplication process.

Course Highlights:

• Expert-Led Learning: I, Ross McGowan, guide you through every aspect of designing a floating point multiplier, ensuring you gain a deep understanding of the subject matter.
• Complete Access: All simulation files and the Excel VBA code are at your disposal for in-depth study and experimentation.
• Adherence to Standards: The design follows industry standards, preparing you for real-world FPU implementation.
• Comprehensive Coverage: From overflow and underflow flags to not exact flags, this course leaves no stone unturned.
