Also called a "floating point unit" (FPU), the math coprocessor may be a stand-alone chip or circuits built into the CPU. Floating point capability is very important to computation-intensive work ...

Linux developers are discussing removing i486 and early i586 (Pentium) CPU support from the Linux kernel to unburden Linux ...

The GRFPU is an IEEE-754 compliant floating-point unit, supporting both single and double precision operands. The pipelined design combines high throughput with low latency, providing up to ... The ...

Let’s back up a little to put this all into context. One of the feathers in the Pentium’s cap was its Floating Point Unit (FPU) which was capable of much faster floating point operations than ...

The PlayStation's graphics processor had zero FLOPs, because it lacked an FPU or Floating Point Unit. Instead, it uses ...

The GRFPU is an IEEE-754 compliant floating-point unit, supporting both single and double precision operands. The pipelined design combines high throughput with low latency, providing up to 200 MFLOPS ...

On the computing side, the processor contains an integer block, a floating point unit, and a vector processor. Clearly, this isn’t a toy processor and has the capability to compete with serious ...
