Hello all! I am having a serious conceptual problem here...
so our question is:
Does it make sense for a processor to have a floating-point square root functional unit but no integer divide unit?
I'm going with sometimes, I believe that both functions can be emulated using the hardware given and will give the exact same result and precision...however I am not understanding in what situations one would be better than the other? Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have read all sorts of papers and publications but I am not finding exactly what I need...
thanks in advance!
