Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for receiving a rounding instruction and an immediate value in a processor, determining if a rounding mode override indicator of the immediate value is active, and if so executing a rounding operation on a source operand in a floating point unit of the processor responsive to the rounding instruction and according to a rounding mode set forth in the immediate operand. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: receiving a user-level rounding instruction of an instruction set architecture (ISA) having a format including a source operand, a destination operand and an immediate value, in a control selector unit of a processor; determining if a rounding mode override indicator of the immediate value is active by decoding the immediate value in the control selector unit; if so, obtaining a rounding mode field of the immediate value, the roundin…
