Abstract
A method includes receiving an input data at a FP arithmetic operating unit configured to perform a FP arithmetic operation on the input data. The method further includes determining whether the received input data generates a FP hardware exception responsive to the FP arithmetic operation on the input data, wherein the determining occurs prior to performing the FP arithmetic operation. The method also includes converting a value of the received input data to a modified value responsive to the determining that the received input data generates the FP hardware exception, wherein the converting eliminates generation of the FP hardware exception responsive to the FP arithmetic operation on the input data.
