Abstract
In a particular embodiment, a method is disclosed that includes receiving an operand to be normalized at a normalization logic circuit, where the operand includes a plurality of bits. The method further includes generating a zero output when a value of the operand is equal to zero and, when the value is not equal to zero, generating an output value representing a number that is one less than a count of leading bits of the operand.
