  • Patent number: 9983850
    Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive concept include a shared hardware integer/floating point divider and square root logic unit, which combines floating point division, floating point square root operations, and/or integer division into one shared hardware design. The shared hardware logic unit can share, for example, a sparse random access memory (sparse RAM) in place of a full partial remainder divisor (PD) table, one or more on-the-fly (OTF) state machines, and/or a data path for integer division, floating point division, and square root operations. The normalization of subnormal numbers and the normalization of signed and unsigned integers can be handled with shared hardware. The division operations and the square root operations can be of the same radix. Early out exceptions and special cases can be automatically handled. Both improved latency and less die area can be achieved in accordance with embodiments of the inventive concept.
