However, its main drawback is the complexity of performing addition and subtraction operations. In this paper, an analysis is carried out to compare the current state-of-the-art logarithmic number system and floating-point. The results predominantly show that the logarithmic number system offers better speed, accuracy and power-efficiency than floating-point. A new proposal for logarithmic addition and subtraction using a co-transformation method is presented, with the aim of improving its performance further. 2014-04-08T08:18:26Z 2014-04-08T08:18:26Z 2013-10 Article Advances in Environmental Biology, vol. 7(SPEC.
