Accurate Arithmetic 
n  IEEE Std 754 specifies additional rounding control 
n  Extra bits of precision (guard, round, sticky) 
n  Choice of rounding modes 
n  Allows programmer to fine-tune numerical behavior of a 
computation 
n  Not all FP units implement all options 
n  Most programming languages and FP libraries just use 
defaults 
n  Trade-off between hardware complexity, 
performance, and market requirements

x86 FP Architecture (ignore) 
n  Originally based on 8087 FP coprocessor 
n  8 × 80-bit extended-precision registers 
n  Used as a push-down stack 
n  Registers indexed from TOS: ST(0), ST(1), … 
n  FP values are 32-bit or 64 in memory 
n  Converted on load/store of memory operand 
n  Integer operands can also be converted 
on load/store 
n  Very difficult to generate and optimize code 
n  Result: poor FP performance

x86 FP Instructions (ignore) 
n  Optional variations 
n  I: integer operand 
n  P: pop operand from stack 
n  R: reverse operand order 
n  But not all combinations allowed

Who Cares About FP Accuracy? 
n  Important for scientific code 
n  But for everyday consumer use? 
n  “My bank balance is out by 0.0002¢!” L 
n  The Intel Pentium FDIV bug 
n  The market expects accuracy 
n  See Colwell, The Pentium Chronicles

Concluding Remarks 
n  ISAs support arithmetic 
n  Signed and unsigned integers 
n  Floating-point approximation to reals 
n  Bounded range and precision 
n  Operations can overflow and underflow 
n  MIPS ISA 
n  Core instructions: 54 most frequently used 
n  100% of SPECINT, 97% of SPECFP 
n  Other instructions: less frequent
