floating-point unit

The reference implementation is written in C and compiles on hardware architectures with or without floating-point unit.

The floating-point unit consists of five functional units.

A strange phenomenon in the floating-point unit of the Perseus, the place where high-precision arithmetic operations took place.

After all the checks they ran, a small error slipped through in their floating-point unit.

The microprocessor read the inputs fed by the keyboard and transmitted them to the floating-point unit.

It also lacks the part of the 486 known as the floating-point unit, which is designed to do high-speed arithmetic.

The floating-point unit consisted of two floating-point pipelines and the floating point register file.

During stage 1, the program might need loads of floating-point units, and nothing else.

Computer techies speak of chips in terms like 32-bit addressing, complex or reduced instruction sets, cache memory and floating-point units.
