Two multiply-accumulate units are coupled together so that the computation (B*C)+(D*E) can be completed in one cycle. An adder (216) adds together the products of the two multipliers (206), (208). The sum is applied to the firs t accumulator (220). Preferably, the second product is also applied to the second accumulator (222), and a multiplexer (218) applies either a zero or t he second product to the adder (216). If two unrelated computations are to be executed simultaneously, then the zero is applied, and the output of the second accumulator is fed back to the register file (PI2). If a single (B*C) + (D*E) computation is to be executed, then the second product is applied to t he adder, and the output of the second accumulator is disregarded.
