4. The bfloat 16 "brain floating point" format is a 16 bit format used in Google's machine learning and AI software. It is a binary floating point format which is very similar to the single precision IEEE-754 format: 1 bit is allocated for the sign, 8 bits for the exponent with a bias of 127, but only 7 bits are allocated for the fraction (the exponent is always chosen so that the first digit of the mantissa is 1, and then only the fraction is stored in memory). (a) What is the approximate decimal precision of a brain floating point? (b) If the bits are stored in the order: sign, exponent, fraction, and 0 corresponds to a positive sign, then calculate the decimal representation of the number stored as 1 00000110 0100010 (c) Given that the largest exponent actually used for numbers is 11111110, what is the largest number that can be expressed as a bfloat 16?

Question 6 Full explain this question
Suppose that we use the floating-point format with 12 decimal digits, SEEEMMMMMMMM, to rep- resent a real number, where S is the digit to represent the sign of the mantissa (use 0 for pos- itive and 5 for negative), EEE are the 3 digits to represent the exponent in excess-500 format, MMMMMMMM are the 8 digits to represent the magnitude of the mantissa, and the decimal point of the mantissa is right to the left of MMMMMMMM (i.e., SEEEMMMMMMMM representing the real number ±0.MMMMMMMM × 10EEE-500) What is the second largest positive number that can be represented in this for- mat? How much less is this number compared to the largest number? Can you represent a number located somewhere between the largest number and the second largest number?

Problem 3: Compute the mantissa and exponent required to represent 35.436 in base-2 floating point representation.
Assume we are using the simple model for floating-point representation discussed in the class (the representation uses a 14-bit format, 5 bits for the exponent with an Excess-M, a significand of 8 bits, and a single sign bit for the number): Convert -43.0735 to the floating-point binary representation.
