... of features targeted at graphical and scientific applications. It supports both high computation throughput and high-precision formats. The inclusion of integer and logical operations allows extra flexibility to manipulate FP numbers and use the FP functional units for complex integer operations. The primary computation workhorse of the FP architecture is the FMAC instruction, which computes A B + C ... divider. The XMA instruction computes A B + C with the FP registers interpreted as 64-bit integers. This reuses the FP functional units for integer computation. XMA greatly ...
