ABSTRACT:
A functional unit in a digital system is provided with a rounding Multiplication instruction, wherein a most significant product of first pair of elements is combined with a least significant product of a second pair of elements, the combined product is rounded, and the final result is stored in a destination. Rounding is performed by adding a rounding value to form an intermediate result, and then shifting the intermediate result right. A combined result is rounded to a fixed length shorter than the combined product.
