fmaf

realizing  exu stream  exu block  compute phase   operation   in the binary floating point value domain  

native on: Silver Gold

A floating point fused multiply-add. As usual for those, it yields a higher precision than doing it separately, and is faster too.

fmaf(f x, f y, f z) → f r0

operands: like Addf [ff:f]

Returns x*y+z on the belt.

encoding: fmaf(f x) , exuArgs(op arg0, op arg1)

fmaf(f x, f y, f z, f w) → f r0, f r1

operands: like Fmasf [ff:f]

This is a fused multiply-add-subtract. An excellent way to make full use of all Functional Units in the 2 Slots.
r₀ is x*y+z*w
r₁ is x*y-z*w
