Abstract:
A processing apparatus supports a narrowing-and-rounding arithmetic operation which generates, in response to two operands each comprising at least one W-bit data element, a result value comprising at least one X-bit result data element, with each X-bit result data element representing a sum or difference of corresponding W-bit data elements of the two operands rounded to an X-bit value (W>X). The arithmetic operation is implemented using a number of N-bit additions (N
