  • Conversion between packed floating point data and packed 32-bit integer data in different architectural registers
    Patent number: 6502115
    Abstract: A method and instruction for converting a number between a floating point format and an integer format are described. Numbers are stored in the integer format in a register of a first set of architectural registers in a packed format. At least one of the numbers in the integer format is converted to at least one number in the floating point format. The numbers in the floating point format are placed in a register of a second set of architectural registers in a packed format.
    Type: Grant

  • Conversion from packed floating point data to packed 8-bit integer data in different architectural registers
    Patent number: 6480868
    Abstract: A method and instruction for converting a number from a floating point format to an integer format are described. Numbers are stored in the floating point format in a register of a first set of architectural registers in a packed format. At least one of the numbers in the floating point format is converted to at least one 8-bit number in the integer format. The 8-bit number in the integer format is placed in a register of a second set of architectural registers in the packed format.

  • Data conversion between floating point packed format and integer scalar format
    Patent number: 6292815
    Abstract: A method and instruction for converting a number between a floating point format and an integer format are described. Numbers are stored in the integer format in a register of a first set of architectural registers in a scalar format. At least one of the numbers in the scalar format is converted to a number in the floating point format. The number in the floating point format is placed in a register of a second set of architectural registers in a packed format.
