Denormalized numbers are the most difficult type of numbers to implement in floating-point units. They are so complex that certain designs have elected to handle them in software rather than in hardware. Traps to software can result in long execution times, which renders denormalized numbers useless to programmers. This does not have to happen. With a small amount of additional hardware, denormalized numbers and underflows can be handled close to the speed of normalized numbers. This paper… Expand
