Abstract
A method for performing a decimal floating-point division, including: receiving, by a decimal floating-point divider, a decimal floating-point dividend and a decimal floating-point divisor; obtaining, by the decimal floating-point divider, a preliminary quotient having a first precision level, where the preliminary quotient is calculated from the decimal floating-point dividend and the decimal-floating point divisor; receiving, by the decimal floating-point divider, a rounding mode; selecting a rounding action based on the preliminary quotient and the rounding mode; and obtaining a rounded quotient having a second precision level by rounding the preliminary quotient according to the rounding action, where the first precision level is at least one digit greater than the second precision level.
