摘要:
A technique of operating a processor includes determining whether a floating point unit (FPU) of the processor is to operate in a full-bit mode or a reduced-bit mode. An instruction is fetched and the instruction is decoded into one or more full-bit operations, when the full-bit mode is indicated, or one or more reduced-bit operations, when the reduced-bit mode is indicated.
