Line 73: ==Application of binary scaling techniques== Binary scaling techniques were used in the 1970s and ~~80s~~1980s for real -time computing that was mathematically intensive, such as [[flight simulation]]. The code was often commented with the binary scalings of the intermediate results of equations. Binary scaling is still used in many [[digital ~~Signal~~signal ~~Processing~~processing\|DSP]] applications and custom made microprocessors are usually based on binary scaling techniques. Binary scaling is currently used in the [[Discrete cosine transform\|DCT]] used to compress [[JPEG]] images in utilities such as [[GIMP]].
