ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for emulating an instruction on a processor. The instruction operates on an operand in a first data format and the processor operates in a second data format. The operand is converted from the first data format to the second data format. The processor then executes the instruction in the second data format to generate a result in the second data format. The result is converted from the second data format to the first data format.
