Floating Point Coprocessors
The designer of any microprocessor would like to extend its instruction
set almost infinitely but is limited by the quantity of silicon available (not
to mention the problems of testability and complexity). Consequently, a real
microprocessor represents a compromise between what is desirable and what is
acceptable to the majority of the chip's users. For example, the 68020
microprocessor is not optimized for calculations that require a large volume of
scientific (i.e. floating point) calculations. One method to significantly
enhance the performance of such a microprocessor ....
