Abstract
A data processing system, apparatus and method for performing fractional multiply operations is disclosed. The system includes a memory that stores instructions for SIMD operations and a processing core. The processing core includes registers that store operands for the fractional multiply operations. A coprocessor included in the processing core performs the fractional multiply operations on the operands and stores the result in a destination register that is also included in the processing core.
