Has anybody looked at Hwang's book, _Computer Arithmetic_, 1979?
Is it any good? I'm thinking about doing the design for a simple FPU
for a term project, and would like a little more detail than his book
_Computer Architecture and Parallel Processing_ provides.

I suppose it would really be better to ask the question generally: has
anybody seen a good book on computer arithmetic, particularly one that
has relevance to high-speed floating point chips that have hit the
market in the last few years?
