Hi - I'm currently using an Atmel AT91SAM7X256 to do a large amount of
floating point operations (mostly multiplies with a decent amount of
trig as well). It does OK - but my floating point needs are soon going
to be expanding (by about twenty-fold) and I'm starting to worry that
the SAM7X part just won't have enough horsepower for this.
why not use a ARM with a vector floating point coprocessor, I think it
does single cycle floating point multplies

other micros with floating point HW are MPC5554, infineon etc
