15. Floating-Point Unit
15.2 Floating-Point Unit Control
The control of floating-point execution is shared by the following units:
The floating-point queue
determines operand dependencies and dynamically issues instructions to the execution units. It also controls the destination registers and register bypass.
The execution units control the arithmetic operations and generate status.
The graduate unit saves the status until the instructions graduate, and then it updates the Floating-Point Status register.
