The FPVC<br />

• Our floating point vector co‐processor differs<br />

from earlier work <strong>on</strong> floating point co‐<br />

processors:<br />

– Fetches its own instructi<strong>on</strong>s<br />

– Operates <strong>on</strong> scalar data<br />

• Loop c<strong>on</strong>trol is local to the FPVC<br />

– Is completely aut<strong>on</strong>omous of the main processor<br />

– Includes divide <strong>an</strong>d square root in floating point<br />
