Title: Soft floating point on 5K
 
It's a 5Kc without a FPU.

Please re-post this with out the legal crap on the bottom.
 
Thanks

ALL 

I'm trying to run soft-floating point functions on a r5000 core with a FPU.
Without having to take the overhead of using a trap.  Using the files fp-bit.c and dp-bit.c
from the gcc source as a floating point lib.  This implementation lack in accuracy in
the least signeficant bit multiplication in division operations.

Using the floating point validation test from UCB(ucbtest), which validates
single and double precision operations for addition, subtraction, division
and multiplication. This test tests all difficult cases and edge conditions
(like combination of infinities, Nan etc.).

Here is the result with our soft-float library:-
Single precision Addition: Passed all 344 tests.
Single precision Subtraction: Passed all 316 tests
Single precision multiplication: Total: 334 Passed:313 Failed: 21
Single precision division: Total: 379 Passed: 375 Failed: 4
Double precision Addition: Passed all 352 tests.
Double precision Subtraction: Passed all 321 tests
Double precision multiplication: Total: 340 Passed: 319 Failed: 21
Double precision division: Total: 383 Passed: 379 Failed: 4

However, in all the failed cases there is only 1 bit different in the mantissa.
Essentially for some cases, it's less accurate by the minimum distance.


Any ideas in how to make this work or improve soft-floating point on a mips 5Kc?
