8.10 Hardware complete register window
So far it has been assumed in this chapter that the SPU is incorporated as an integral
part of the arithmetic unit of the processor. Now we discuss the question of what can
be done if this is not the case and if not enough register space for the CR is available
on the processor.
The final result of a scalar product computation is assumed to be a floating-point
number with an exponent in the range e1 e e2. If this is not the case, the problem
has to be scaled. During the computation of the scalar product, however, summands
with an exponent outside of this
