M68060 USER’S MANUAL
MOTOROLA
The processor supports four rounding modes specified by the IEEE 754 standard. These
modes are round to nearest (RN), round toward zero (RZ), round toward plus infinity (RP),
and round toward minus infinity (RM). The RP and RM modes are directed rounding modes
that are useful in interval arithmetic. Rounding is accomplished through the intermediate
result. Single-precision results are rounded to a 24-bit boundary; double-precision results
are rounded to a 53-bit boundary; and extended-precision results are rounded to a 64-bit
boundary.
Table 6-1 lists the encoding for the rounding mode.
Table 6-2 lists the encoding
for rounding precision.
6.1.3 Floating-Point Status Register (FPSR)
The FPSR (see
Figure 6-2) contains a floating-point condition code byte (FPCC), a quotient
byte, a floating-point exception status byte (EXC), and a floating-point accrued exception
byte (AEXC). The user can read or write to all defined bits in the FPSR. Execution of most
floating-point instructions modifies this register. The reset function or a restore operation of
the null state clears the FPSR. Floating-point conditional operations are not guaranteed if
the FPSR is written directly, because the FPSR is only valid as a result of a floating-point
instruction.
