Instruction mnemonics:
MULS | Multiply S_floating |
MULT | Multiply T_floating |
Qualifiers:
Rounding: | Dynamic (/D) |
| Minus infinity (/M) |
| Chopped (/C) |

Description:
The multiplicand operand in register Fb is multiplied by the multiplier operand in register Fa and the product is written to register Fc.
The product is rounded to the specified precision and then the corresponding range is checked for overflow/underflow. The
See Section 4.7.7 for details of the stored result on overflow, underflow, or inexact result.
