Floating-Point Arithmetic

In the 80960KB, floating-point arithmetic has been

made an integral part of the architecture. Having the

floating-point unit integrated on-chip provides two

advantages. First, it improves the performance of the

chip

for

floating-point

applications,

since

additional

bus

overhead

associated

with

floating-point calculations, thereby leaving more time

for other bus operations such as I/O. Second, the

cost of using floating-point operations is reduced

because

separate

coprocessor

chip

not

required.

The 80960KB floating-point (real-number) data types

include single-precision (32-bit), double-precision

(64-bit) and extended precision (80-bit) floating-point

numbers. Any registers may be used to execute

floating-point operations.

The processor provides hardware support for both

mandatory and recommended portions of IEEE

Standard 754 for floating-point arithmetic, including

all arithmetic, exponential, logarithmic and other

transcendental functions. Table 3 shows execution

times for some representative instructions.

1.1.8

High Bandwidth Local Bus

The 80960KB CPU resides on a high-bandwidth

address/data bus known as the local bus (L-Bus).

The L-Bus provides a direct communication path

between the processor and the memory and I/O

subsystem interfaces. The processor uses the L-Bus

fetch

instructions,

manipulate

memory

and

respond to interrupts. L-Bus features include:

• 32-bit multiplexed address/data path

• Four-word burst capability which allows transfers

from 1 to 16 bytes at a time

• High bandwidth reads and writes with

66.7 MBytes/s burst (at 25 MHz)

Table 4 defines L-bus signal names and functions;

Table 5 defines other component-support signals

such as interrupt lines.
