The IEEE 754 Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic has long dominated real-number representation in modern computing. Posit arithmetic, a recent alternative, has garnered growing attention for its potential advantages over IEEE 754, inspiring research across academia and industry. This survey provides a detailed examination of the theoretical foundations of posits, their applications in fields such as scientific computing and neural networks, and notable advancements in hardware implementations, including accelerators and RISC-V cores. By synthesizing these developments, this work offers key insights and highlights opportunities for future research, providing a comprehensive resource for understanding and advancing posit arithmetic in diverse computational domains.
