I think the fast FP technology is standard now on $5 USD CPU's (simple platforms). Most of the integer only designs are for use much closer to the hardware. I'm even seeing fast double precision FP in cheap CPU's. The new argument, I think, is integer based FPGA versus floating point CPU, or more specifically parallel versus serial. The problem is, who wants to program FPGA or CPU's in machine language? Life is too short. Is Open Source defined by the cost of the tools or the documentation to duplicate? For example, I had to invest in a Discovery board in order to play with the Open Source code. Extrapolate from that :-) _______________________________________________ Freetel-codec2 mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freetel-codec2
