Is is any possibility to implemented a 32-bit float point ca

[Leon zhang]

I am newbie for IC Design. Is it possibility to implemented a 32-bit
or 16-bit float point processing unit, in two weeks ?

Or, is there any free or open source IP Core to implemented it?

Thanks in advance.

If you mean a hand calculator with human input and output I
don't believe it is past the abilities for someone in an
advanced electronics design class. As others have said,
use a digit serial BCD ALU. People were doing this in a
single IC in the mid 1970s.

Or, implement combinatorial or pipelines 32 bit floating
point add, subtract, multiply, and divide blocks.
Implementing all of the IEEE standard would be a little
hard, though, but probably not necessary.
