Abstract
A tightly coupled dual 16-bit multiply-accumulate (MAC) unit for performing single-instruction/multiple-data (SIMD) operations may forward an intermediate result to another operation in a pipeline to resolve an accumulating dependency penalty. The MAC unit may also be used to perform 32-bit×32-bit operations.
