A parameterized Verilog HDL posit arithmetic core generator is developed for posit arithmetic (adder, multiplier and division arithmetic). These generators support the posit standard including rounding to nearest rounding method and can be used to generate the Verilog HDL for any combination of Word-Size (N) and Exponent-Size (ES).
