Hi

In floating point multiplication,
my significant is (27 downto 0) -----(it is aligned and padded with zeros)

Code: 
SIGNIFICANT: out std_logic_vector (27 downto 0);
B_sig : in std_logic_vector (31 downto 0); 
A_sig : in std_logic_vector (31 downto 0); 

signal prod:  std_logic_vector (63 downto 0);

dtemp := (unsigned(A_SIG) * unsigned(B_SIG));
 
SIGNIFICANT<= prod(47 downto 20);

why prod is taken (47 downto 20) and not any other combination like (57 downto 30) etc

The input numbers are probably padded so only (23 downto 0) contains information, but I can't explain why someone would design it like that.
