Automatic rounding of floating point operands
If the firmware calls for an operand rounding operation, apparatus in the Scientific Instruction Processor (SIP) tests the bit to the right of the low order bit of the normalized operand to determine if a rounding cycle is required. If the operand requires a normalization cycle or a mantissa overflo...

| Zusammenfassung: | If the firmware calls for an operand rounding operation, apparatus in the Scientific Instruction Processor (SIP) tests the bit to the right of the low order bit of the normalized operand to determine if a rounding cycle is required. If the operand requires a normalization cycle or a mantissa overflow correction cycle, the rounding operation is performed in those cycles. |
