x87 FPOP and FCOM instructions - how do these work?
I\'ve been tasked with writing a simple application in mixed C/ASM that has to use math co开发者_Go百科processor.[详细]

2023-01-16 07:12 分类:问答What instructions should I be using for floating point operations?
I\'m somewhat familiar with the x87 instructions for manipulating floating point numbers in x86 assembly. However, I read somewhere that these were seldom used anymore. (And weren\'t allowed in 64-bit[详细]
2023-01-15 13:44 分类:问答Extended (80-bit) double floating point in x87, not SSE2 - we don't miss it?
I was reading today about researchers discovering that NVidia\'s Phys-X libraries use x87 FP vs. SSE2. Obviously this will be suboptimal for parallel datasets where speed trumps precision. However, th[详细]

I\'ve recently read up quite a bit on IEEE 754 and the x87 architecture.I was thinking of using NaN as a \"missing value\" in some numeric calculation code I\'m working on, and I was hoping that using[详细]
