    ABSTRACT:: This paper describes an improved, IEEE conforming
               floating-point addition algorithm. This algorithm has only
               one addition step involving the significand in the
               worst-case path, hence offering a considerable speed
               advantage over the existing algorithms, which typically
               require two to three addition steps.
