Abstract
A vector functional unit implemented on a semiconductor chip to perform vector operations of dimension N is described. The vector functional unit includes N functional units. Each of the N functional units have logic circuitry to perform: a first integer multiply add instruction that presents highest ordered bits but not lowest ordered bits of a first integer multiply add calculation, and, a second integer multiply add instruction that presents lowest ordered bits but not highest ordered bits of a second integer multiply add calculation.
