y**x = 2**(x*log2 y) if y > 0.

avoid division and use rational approach 1/x = x**(-1) = 2**(-log2 x) , x>0.

You can rewrite your equation fully in 2**x and log2 x function.

if you need to compute sum the problem of accuracy still exists. you have to remember if you will add unsorted floating-point. Does it take place in FPGA?
