I am very excited that you are putting together a survey. Being new to
the arithmatic side of things, I have always wanted to read a detailed
document on the evolution of floating point ALU architectures, starting
with what Seymour Cray did when he was at Control Data. This field is
facinating to me because it combines high speed circuit design with
innovative algorithms. The same could be said about high performance
graphics accellerators.
