 So whenever hardware papers come up, VHDL gets involved...
 I guess it's time to try and work out how to use the Opensource VHDL implementations.
 
+This is about reduction of error in hardware operations rather than the precision or range of floats.

+This is a 32 bit floating point unit developed for JOP in VHDL.
+I have been able to successfully compile it and the test program using GHDL\cite{ghdl}.
