The IEEE International Symposium on Computer Arithmetic (ARITH) is a conference in the area of

computer arithmetic In computing, an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) is a combinational digital circuit that performs arithmetic and bitwise operations on integer binary numbers. This is in contrast to a floating-point unit (FPU), which operates on floating point numb ...

. The symposium was established in 1969, initially as three-year event, then as a biennial event, and, finally, from 2015 as an annual symposium. ARITH topics span from theoretical aspects and
