Abstract

A processing unit computes a trigonometric function, for decrease the number of instructions and improve throughput. In a floating point multiply-add circuit, an OR circuit, a selector and an EOR circuit are disposed, and an expansion point and expansion function of the Taylor series expansion of the trigonometric function are computed using a first trigonometric function operation auxiliary instruction for defining the operation of rd=(rs*rs)|(rs[0]<<63) and a second trigonometric function operation auxiliary instruction for defining the operation of rd=((rs[0])? 1.0: rs)^(rs[1]<<63), or a third trigonometric function operation auxiliary instruction for defining the operation of rd=(rs*rs)|((˜rs[0]<<63) and a fourth trigonometric function operation auxiliary instruction for defining the operation of rd=((rs[0])? rs: 1.0)^((rs[1]^rs[0])<<63)).
