Reply To: Will Decimal Floating Point be implemented in hardware?

DFP is obviously of value for COBOL-type commercial programs. Engineers tend to think of designs as being for the kinds of things that engineers do – CAD, compiles, scientific, games – and forget how much work is done doing payroll and booking reservations. Those won’t be the first Mill markets, but we have defined DFP into the ISA for possible future products. Whether it’s hardware is a config choice, to be made then.
