2.44-GFLOPS 300-MHz floating-point vector-processing unit for high-performance 3-D graphics computing

A vector unit for high-performance three-dimensional graphics computing has been developed, We implement four floating-point multiply-accumulate units , which execute multiply-add operations with one throughput; one floating-p oint divide/square root unit, which executes division and square-root opera tions with six cycles at 300 MHz; and one vector general-purpose register f ile, which has 128 bits x 32 words, The parallel execution of all units del ivers a peak performance of 2.44 GFLOPS at 300 MHz.
