Abstract
A process is for determining an overflow to the format of the result of an arithmetic operation carried out by an arithmetic unit on two operands A and B and an input carry digit Cin. This process is executed in parallel to the processing done by the AU on operands A and B, before the AU has determined the result S of the operation.
