5.1.7 Floating-Point State Register (FSR)

Please refer to Section 5.1.7 of Commonality for the description of FSR.

The sections below describe SPARC64 V-specific features of the FSR register.

FSR_nonstandard_fp (NS)

SPARC V9 defines the FSR.NS bit which, when set to 1, causes the FPU to produce implementation-dependent results that may not conform to IEEE Std 754-1985. SPARC64 V implements this bit.

When FSR.NS = 1, denormal input operands and denormal results that would otherwise trap are flushed to 0 of the same sign and an inexact exception is signalled (that may be masked by FSR.TEM.NXM). See Section B.6, Floating-Point Nonstandard Mode, on page 61 for details.

When FSR.NS = 0, the normal IEEE Std 754-1985 behavior is implemented.

FSR_version (ver)

For each SPARC V9 IU implementation (as identified by its VER.impl field), there may be one or more FPU implementations or none. This field identifies the particular FPU implementation present. For the first SPARC64 V, FSR.ver = 0 (impl. dep. #19); however, future versions of the architecture may set FSR.ver to other values. Consult the SPARC64 V Data Sheet for the setting of FSR.ver for your chipset.

FSR_floating-point_trap_type (ftt)

The complete conditions under which SPARC64 V triggers fp_exception_other with trap type unfinished_FPop is described in Section B.6, Floating-Point Nonstandard Mode, on page 61 (impl. dep. #248).

FSR_current_exception (cexc)

Bits 4 through 0 indicate that one or more IEEE_754 floating-point exceptions were generated by the most recently executed FPop instruction. The absence of an exception causes the corresponding bit to be cleared.

In SPARC64 V, the cexc bits are set according to the following pseudocode:

if (<LDFSR or LDXFSR commits>)

<update using data from LDFSR or LDXFSR>; else if (<FPop commits with ftt = 0>)

<update using value from FPU>
