The formulation of the binary number system essentially laid the groundwork for digital circuitry, computers, and the field of computer science, as we know it in today’s technologically-advanced world ...

The natives of a remote Polynesian Island invented a binary number system, similar to the one used by computers to calculate, centuries before Western mathematicians did, new research suggests. The ...

To multiply a negative number, an arithmetic binary shift moves all the digits in the binary number along to the left and fills the gaps after the shift with 0: to multiply by two, all digits shift ...

Mention binary numbers and images of modern computers and complex arithmetic are probably evoked. But a new study suggests this code was invented by natives of a remote Polynesian Island centuries ...

It’s hard to believe today, but in the 1940s, the earliest computer technicians actually worked at the bit level. If a computer made a mistake and the technician determined it wasn’t from a burned-out ...

Old mainframe computers are interesting, especially to those of us who weren’t around to see them in action. We sit with old-timers and listen to their stories of the good ol’ days. They tell us about ...

The original article is published on Nervana site: Accelerating Neural Networks with Binary Arithmetic. Please go to Nervana Homepage to learn more on Intel Nervana's deep learning technologies. At ...

Here's a C/C++ program that converts decimal numbers ranging from 0 to 99,999 to binary and BCD formats. Using a simple algorithm in conjunction with pointer ...
