Abstract

A digital data processor includes a plurality of memory registers, a floating point adder and a floating point multiplier intercoupled by a plurality of simultaneously operable parallel buses facilitating multiple parallel operations during one clock cycle or instruction. The floating adder and multiplier each include a number of stages separated by intermediate temporary storage registers which receive the partial results of a computation for use by the next stage during the next clock period. Floating point additions, multiplications and other arithmetic and logical results are produced during each clock cycle.
