In PHP 5.1, it is possible for this function to return a float as well. March 21, 2007 ©2007, I.Sarah Al-Shareef 3 Overview Date & Time Fun cont. Function Description gmdate() Formats a GMT/UTC date/time. Uses the same formatting characters as the date() function. gmmktime() Converts a set of GMT date/time values into a Unix timestamp (analogous to mktime()). gmstrftime() Formats a GMT/UTC date/time according to locale settings (similar to strftime() except the time used is GMT/UTC).

  • Leading One Prediction - Implementation, Generalization, and Application
    LEADING ONE PREDICTION - IMPLEMENTATION, GENERALIZATION, AND APPLICATION Nhon Quach Michael J. Flynn Technical Report: CSL-TR-91-463 March 1991 This work was supported by NSF contract No. MlP88-22961. Leading One Prediction - Implementation, Generalization, and Application bY Nhon Quach and Michael Flynn Technical Report: CSL-TR-91-463 Masch 1991 Computer Systems Laboratory Departments of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science St anford University St anford, California 94305 Abstract This paper presents the concept of leading-one prediction (LOP) used in most high-speed floating-point adders in greater detail and describes two existing implementations. The first one is similar to that used in the TBM RS /GO00 processor. The second is a distributed version of the first, con- suming less hardware when multiple patterns need to be detected. We show how to modify these circuits for sign-magnitude numbers as dictated by the IEEE standard. We then point out that (1) LOP and carry lookahead in parallel addition belong to the same class of problem, that of bit pattern detection. Such a recognition allows techniques developed for parallel addition to be borrowed for bit pattern detection. And (2) LOP can be applied to compute the sticky bit needed for binary multipliers to perform IEEE rounding. Key Words and Phrases: Lea,ding one prediction, high-speed floating- point adders, parallel addition, IEEE rounding, sticky bit computation, par- allel implementation.

  • Bits and Bit Sequences Integers
    Data ● (Some repeating CS1083, ECE course) ● bits and bit sequences ● integers (signed and unsigned) ● bit vectors ● strings and characters ● floating point numbers ● hexadecimal and octal notations Bits and Bit Sequences ● Fundamentally, we have the binary digit, 0 or 1. ● More interesting forms of data can be encoded into a bit sequence. ● 00100 = “drop the secret package by the park entrance” 00111 = “Keel Meester Bond” ● A given bit sequence has no meaning unless you know how it has been encoded. ● Common things to encode: integers, doubles, chars. And machine instructions. Encoding things in bit sequences (From textbook) ● Floats ● Machine Instructions How Many Bit Patterns? ● With k bits, you can have 2k different patterns ● 00..00, 00..01, 00..10, … , 11..10, 11..11 ● Remember this! It explains much... ● E.g., if you represent numbers with 8 bits, you can represent only 256 different numbers. Names for Groups of Bits ● nibble or nybble: 4 bits ● octet: 8 bits, always. Seems pedantic. ● byte: 8 bits except with some legacy systems. In this course, byte == octet. ● after that, it gets fuzzy (platform dependent). For 32-bit ARM, – halfword: 16 bits – word: 32 bits Unsigned Binary (review) ● We can encode non-negative integers in unsigned binary. (base 2) ● 10110 = 1*24 + 0*23 + 1*22 + 1*21 +1*20 represents the mathematical concept of “twenty-two”. In decimal, this same concept is written as 22 = 2*101 + 2*100. ● Converting binary to decimal is just a matter of adding up powers of 2, and writing the result in decimal. ● Going from decimal to binary is trickier.

    The Science of Computing II Living with Cyber Lesson 1: Number Systems and Binary Arithmetic Pillar: Computer Architecture The most basic unit of storage is the bit. At any point in time, a bit can be in only one of two states: “0” or “1.” Bits are generally implemented as two-state electronic devices (e.g., a current is flowing or not flowing, a voltage is high or low, a magnetic field is polarized in one direction or the opposite direction, etc). The symbol “0” is used to represent one of these states and the symbol “1” is used to represent the other. It really doesn’t matter which symbol (the “0” or the “1”) represents which physical state (e.g., “high” or “low”). All that is important is that the symbols be assigned consistently and that the two states be clearly distinguishable from each other. Sequences (or “patterns”) of bit values can be used to represent numbers (both positive and negative, integer and real), alphanumeric characters, images, sounds, and even program instructions. In fact, anything that can be stored in a computer must ultimately be stored as a pattern of bit values. The binary number system Today, virtually all civilizations use a base ten counting system. However, this has not always been so. In primitive tally systems, for example, there is one stroke for each object being counted. For example, the following tally pattern represents twelve: Some tally systems group strokes together. The one illustrated above places five strokes in each group. Most early systems attached little or no meaning to the order of the symbols used to represent a number.
