Honored ContributorI would take the easy route and start using these: http://www.altera.com/literature/ug/ug_altfp_mfug.pdf?gsa_pos=7&wt.oss_r=1&wt.oss=float Like others have said are you sure you *need* floating point math hardware? In my own experience 80% of the people who think they need it can use fixed point instead.
