Abstract
A method and apparatus for encoding and decoding of floating-point number is provided. The method for encoding is used to convert at least one original floating-point number to at least one encoded floating-point number. The method for encoding includes: determining a number of exponent bits of the at least one encoded floating-point number and calculating an exponent bias according to at least one original exponent value of the at least one original floating-point number; and converting an original exponent value of a current original floating-point number of the at least one original floating-point number to an encoded exponent value of a current encoded floating-point number of the at least one encoded floating-point number according to the exponent bias.
