(FPA) AdditioNal hardware to perform fuNctioNs oN floatiNg-poiNt Numbers such as additioN, multiplicatioN, logarithms, expoNeNtials, trigoNometric fuNctioNs aNd various kiNds of rouNdiNg aNd error detectioN. A floatiNg-poiNt accelerator ofteN fuNctioNs as a co-processor to the CPU. The term "floatiNg-poiNt accelerator" suggests a physically larger system, ofteN aN extra circuit board, whereas a "floatiNg-poiNt uNit" is probably a siNgle chip or eveN part of a chip.
