Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 6:
7. At least one non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by one or more processors, cause the processors to perform a single-precision floating point operation on an operand, comprising:
receiving an exponent component of the operand;
executing the exponent component to perform an operation on an exponent portion of the single-precision floating point operation;
receiving a mantissa component of the operand;
executing the mantissa component to perform an operation on the mantissa portion of the single-precision floating point operation, wherein performing the operation on the mantissa portion includes:
dividing the mantissa component into a first sub-component and a second sub-component;
performing an operation on the first sub-component to generate a first intermediate result of the floating point operation for the first sub-component; and
performing the operation on the second sub-component to generate a second intermediate result of the floating point operation for the second sub-component, wherein the operations to generate the first intermediate result and the second intermediate result are performed in parallel;
combining the first intermediate result and the second intermediate result to generate the mantissa portion;

combining the exponent portion and the mantissa portion to generate a result of the floating point operation; and
returning the result of the floating point operation.
