Abstract
A data processor includes both integer and floating point operation units and operates as a reduced instruction set computer (RISC). A modification of the normal load/store RISC operations includes within in its instruction set some instructions that permit floating point operations to be paired with load or store operations. These operations include: vector floating point add; vector multiply accumulate; vector floating point multiply; vector multiply subtract; vector reverse subtract; vector round floating point input; vector round integer input; and vector floating point subtract.
