hello folks..
I'm doing a project related to 8051 micro controller, it is required to
handle floating point numbers to a great precision. is there any way with which this can be done easily with 8051 or is there
any mathematical controller that can do a better job?
please let me know..

There are many 8051 derivatives. Many different speed of execution.

Do you already have your hardware ??

This site gives a few timings of their floating point operations.

Using their chart, any speed up by using a faster 8051 processor can be calculated.

Have you spec'd out how fast you need float operations ?

You did do a design spec, didn't you ??
