Abstract
Devices and methods are provided for performing, by a processor in response to a floating point multiply instruction, multiplication of floating point numbers. In an example, a device includes a processor that includes a multiply circuit. The multiply circuit is configured to multiply floating point numbers in response to a floating point multiply instruction, and is further configured to determine values of implied bits of mantissas of the floating point numbers, and multiply the mantissas in parallel with the determining operation.
