    Abstract: An error handling method includes identifying a code region eligible for cumulative multiply add (CMA) optimization and translating code region instructions into interpreter code instructions, which may include translating sequences of multiply add instructions in the code region instructions into fusion code including CMA instructions. Floating point (FP) exceptions generated by the fusion code may be monitored and at least a portion of the code region instructions may be re-translated to eliminate some or all fusion code if CMA intermediate rounding exceptions exceed a threshold.

    Abstract translation: 错误处理方法包括识别符合累积乘法(CMA)优化的代码区域并将代码区域指令转换为解释器代码指令,其可以包括将代码区域指令中的乘法加法指令的序列转换成包括CMA指令的融合代码。 可以监视由融合码产生的浮点(FP)异常,并且如果CMA中间舍入异常超过阈值,则可以重新转换码区指令的至少一部分以消除一些或全部融合码。

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, instructions and logic are disclosed providing double rounded combined floating-point multiply and add functionality as scalar or vector SIMD instructions or as fused micro-operations. Embodiments include detecting floating-point (FP) multiplication operations and subsequent FP operations specifying as source operands results of the FP multiplications. The FP multiplications and the subsequent FP operations are encoded as combined FP operations including rounding of the results of FP multiplication followed by the subsequent FP operations. The encoding of said combined FP operations may be stored and executed as part of an executable thread portion using fused-multiply-add hardware that includes overflow detection for the product of FP multipliers, first and second FP adders to add third operand addend mantissas and the products of the FP multipliers with different rounding inputs based on overflow, or no overflow, in the products of the FP multiplier. Final results are selected respectively using overflow detection.
