MUL.fmt 

MUL.S fd, fs, ft

MUL.D fd, fs, ft

MUL.PS fd, fs, ft

Purpose:

Floating Point Multiply

To multiply FP values.

Description:

 FPR[fd] = FPR[fs] x FPR[ft]

The value in FPR fs is multiplied by the value in FPR ft. The result is calculated to infinite precision, rounded according to the current rounding mode in FCSR, and placed into FPR fd. The operands and result are values in format fmt.

MUL.PS multiplies the upper and lower halves of FPR fs and FPR ft independently, and ORs together any generated exceptional conditions.

Restrictions:

The fields fs, ft, and fd must specify FPRs valid for operands of type fmt. If the fields are not valid, the result is

UNPREDICTABLE.

The operands must be values in format fmt; if they are not, the result is UNPREDICTABLE and the value of the operand FPRs becomes UNPREDICTABLE.

The result of MUL.PS is UNPREDICTABLE if the processor is executing in the FR=0 32-bit FPU register model. It is predictable if executing on a 64-bit FPU in the FR=1 mode, but not with FR=0, and not on a 32-bit FPU.

Availability and Compatibility:

MUL.PS has been removed in Release 6.

Operation:

StoreFPR (fd, fmt, ValueFPR(fs, fmt) <=fmt ValueFPR(ft, fmt))

Exceptions:

Coprocessor Unusable, Reserved Instruction

Floating Point Exceptions:

Inexact, Unimplemented Operation, Invalid Operation, Overflow, Underflow
