A fully pipelined single-precision floating-point unit in the synergistic processor element of a CELL processor.

A fully pipelined single-precision floating-point unit in the synergistic processor element of a CELL processor.

The floating-point unit (FPU) in the synergistic processor element (SPE) of a CELL processor is a fully pipelined 4-way single-instruction multiple-data (SIMD) unit designed to accelerate media and data streaming with 128-bit operands. It supports 32-bit single-precision floating-point and 16-bit in...
