{{Orphan|date=December 2016}}Block floating point (BFP) is a method used to provide an arithmetic approaching floating point while using a fixed-point processor. The algorithm will assign an entire block of data an exponent, rather than single units themselves being assigned an exponent, thus making them a block, rather than a simple floating point. Block floating-point algorithm operations are done through a block using a common exponent, and can be advantageous to limit the space use in the hardware to perform the same functions as floating-point algorithms.

The common exponent is found by data with the largest amplitude in the block. To find the value of the exponent, the number of leading bits must be found. For this to be done, the number of left shifts needed for the data must be normalized to the dynamic range of the processor used. Some processors have means to find this out themselves, such as exponent detection and normalization instructions.[2][3]

Block floating-point algorithms were extensively studied by James Hardy Wilkinson.[4][5][6]

A similar arithmetic can be used on top of a floating-point format having a limited range.
