The present invention provides processing systems, apparatuses, and methods that support both general processing processor (GPP) and digital signal processor (DSP) features, such as vector and single value multiplication. In an embodiment, fractional arithmetic, integer arithmetic, saturation, and single instruction multiple data (SIMD) operations such as vector multiply, multiply accumulate, dot-product accumulate, and multiply-subtract accumulate are supported. In an embodiment, the process core and/or multiplier multiplies vector values or single values by creating partial products for each desired product. These partial products are added to produce intermediate results, which are combined in different ways to support various GPP and DSP operations. |
