→Application of binary scaling techniques: Reading some NPP control algorithms written in the 60's and noted extensive use of b-scaling. Since this predates the 1970's use cited in aerospace, I think that this is worth noting here. |

==Application of binary scaling techniques==
Binary scaling techniques were used in the 1970s and 1980s for real-time computing that was mathematically intensive, such as [[flight simulation]] and in [[Nuclear Power Plant]] control algorithms since the late 1960's. The code was often commented with the binary scalings of the intermediate results of equations.
Binary scaling is still used in many [[digital signal processing|DSP]] applications and custom made microprocessors are usually based on binary scaling techniques.
