Experience of IEEE.Float_Pkg?

[martin.wahlstedt]

Hi.

Do someone have experience of working with the "new" package IEEE.Float_Pkg, proposed for VHDL 2006? Does it consume lots of logic compared to std_logic_vectors (based on the same number of bits)? The main operations I will use is multiplications and additions.

Will do some tests but am curious of your experience.

Thanks
Martin
