Abstract
A method may translate a set of source instructions into a set of target instructions, execute the set of target instructions, and unmask a denormal input control bit if the set of source instructions uses a denormal input handling mechanism. A method may detect at least one denormal exception of a faulty target instruction by executing the set of target instructions; assign a predetermined value to one or more denormal operands of the faulty target instruction; and execute the faulty target instruction with the predetermined value for the one or more denormal operands. An apparatus, system, and machine-readable medium may perform such methods.
