2Floating-point unit — An Intel 80287 A floating point unit (FPU, colloquially a math coprocessor) is a part of a computer system specially designed to carry out operations on floating point numbers. Typical operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication,… …
3Floating Point Unit — 80287, FPU einer 80286 CPU mit 6 MHz. Gleitkommaeinheit ist ein Begriff aus der Computertechnik und bezeichnet einen speziellen Prozessor, der mathematische Funktionen oder Gleitkommazahlen verarbeitet. Bei vielen modernen CPUs ist die FPU als… …
4Technical Floating Point — The Technical Floating Point (TFP) model was a new set of computer processor instructions in microcode, designed by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). It was used to replace the x87 floating point capabilities in the original Intel IA 32… …
5Quadruple-precision floating-point format — In computing, quadruple precision (also commonly shortened to quad precision) is a binary floating point computer number format that occupies 16 bytes (128 bits) in computer memory. In IEEE 754 2008 the 128 bit base 2 format is officially… …
6IBM Floating Point Architecture — IBM System/360 computers, and subsequent machines based on that architecture (mainframes), support a hexadecimal floating point format. The format is used by SAS Transport files as required by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for New Drug… …
7Register file — A register file is an array of processor registers in a central processing unit (CPU). Modern integrated circuit based register files are usually implemented by way of fast static RAMs with multiple ports. Such RAMs are distinguished by having… …
8Register renaming — In computer engineering, register renaming refers to a technique usedto avoid unnecessary serialization of program operations imposed by the reuseof registers by those operations.Problem definitionPrograms are composed of instructions which… …
9Floating Battery of Charleston Harbor — The Floating Battery of Charleston Harbor was an ironclad vessel that was constructed by the Confederacy in early 1861, a few months before the American Civil War ignited. Apart from being a marvel to contemporary Charlestonians, it was a… …
10Processor register — In computer architecture, a processor register is a small amount of storage available as part of a CPU or other digital processor. Such registers are (typically) addressed by mechanisms other than main memory and can be accessed more quickly.… …
