  • Parallel rounding for conversion from binary floating point to binary coded decimal
    Patent number: 11221826
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a computer-implemented method of for parallel conversion to binary coded decimal format. The method includes receiving, by a floating point unit (FPU), a value in binary floating point (BFP) format. The BFP value includes an integer part and a fractional part. The FPU converts the BFP value to a binary coded decimal (BCD) value. In parallel to converting the BFP value to a BCD value, the FPU performs a rounding operation on the BFP value. The FPU receives the rounding information and operates on the BCD value accordingly.
