This chapter will introduce the floating-point instructions in the non-privileged subset foundation of the LoongArch architecture. It will define the functional aspects of the basic floating-point instructions in accordance with the IEEE 754-2008 standard
.
The basic floating-point instruction cannot be implemented separately from the basic integer instruction. Both the basic integer instruction and the basic floating-point instruction need to be implemented simultaneously. Whether the implementation of basic floating-point instructions includes instructions for manipulating double-precision floating-point numbers and doubleword integers is independent of whether the architecture is LA32
or LA64
