ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for executing an operation on low order portions of first and second source operands using a first execution stack of a processor and executing the operation on high order portions of the first and second source operands using a second execution stack of the processor, where the operation in the second execution stack is staggered by one or more cycles from the operation in the first execution stack. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
