# Posit Arithmetic Code## OverviewThe posit number format is a relatively new number format (2013) developed by John L. Gustafson.It can act as a substitute for IEEE floating-point number format and offers better accuracy.More information on this can be found at: posithub.org## History / OriginsThis code was begun in April 2020.While much of the code is orignal, some of this code (heavily modified) originated from:https://github.com/manish-kj/Posit-HDL-Arithmeticand the PACoGEN project## OperationThis code performs all operations in one long clock cycle, relying on toolsets to retime thelogic across multiple clock cycles if needed for performance. In order to get retiming itwill be neccessary to add some registers in the output paths.
