  • Method, apparatus and computer system for directly transferring and translating data between an integer processing unit and a floating point processing unit
    Patent number: 6249798
    Abstract: An apparatus, a processor, a computer system and a method may be used to directly transfer and translate data between a memory format in an integer processing unit and a floating point format in a floating point processing unit. Data is stored in integer registers of the integer processing unit in a memory format and is stored in floating point registers of the floating point processing unit in a floating point format. A direct data link is provided between the integer register file of the integer processing unit and the floating point register file of the floating point processing unit. The direct data link includes a logic circuit which translates data between the memory format and the floating point format.

  • Emulating agent and method for reformatting computer instructions into a standard uniform format
    Patent number: 6009263
    Abstract: An emulating agent and method is provided that receives numbers having si, exponents and significands of varying lengths and possibly configured in a variety of incompatible formats and to reformat the numbers into a standard uniform format for uniform arithmetic computations in processors operating with different architectures. In one embodiment, the emulating agent has a three-field superset register configured to receive the sign of a number in a first field, the exponent of a number in a second field and the significand of a number in a third field, regardless of the original format of the number, resulting in a number represented in a standard uniform format for computation. The embodiment also allows high level access to the fields to allow users to control the size of the numbers inserted into the fields.
