Handling Instructions that Require Adding Results of a Plurality of Multiplications

摘要

Floating point compound equations that involve addition of at least three terms, where each term involves a multiplication, can be implemented by using a bypass to prevent small, remaining values from being lost when shifted.

1. A method comprising:
receiving at least three multiplied floating point terms; sorting the floating point numbers based on exponent size; and bypassing addition of lower bits of a smallest exponent term to present the lower bits as an output.
