Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the project's recoded-format and IEEE754 handling, then compare synthesis results for denormal-number paths; done means an evidence-based answer about hardware delay.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
I'm trying to design my own FPU but I find that supporting denormal numbers would add huge delay to the hardware logic. So I'm wondering is recoded format able to reduce some delay when dealing with denormal numbers ? Since I find that the biggest difference between recoded format and ieee754 is in denormal numbers. Could you please share some information, like the synthesis results ? Thanks!
