Abstract
An apparatus and method for performing single-instruction multiple-data instructions using a single multiply-accumulate unit while minimizing operational latency. The multiply-accumulate unit generates a first half and a second half of a data result. A register stores the first half of the data result. A miscellaneous-logic unit determines when to release the first half of the data result from the register to synchronize the first half and the second half of the data result.
