32 bit floating point multiplier

hello,

iam a student of bachelor of engineering,
iam working on the testing of single precision multiplier
using simuTAG (using JTAG interface).can anybody help
me out in finding the VHDL CODE for 32 bit floating point
multiplier.

Consider using an unsigned multiply.
Writing a floating point multiplier
would be a lot of work.

No, this is not a complicated assignment since a FP multiplier is nothing
more than a standard multiplier with some exponent and rounding logic. A bit
of googling will answer all his questions
