Extending Weitek Architecture
David Hough
ABSTRACT
This paper contains personal opinions of the
author which should not be assumed to be the posi-
tion of any organization. The Motorola 68881 and
Weitek 1164/1165 chips have become popular float-
ing point implementations and represent different
decisions about performance, complexity, and con-
formance to the IEEE standard. Future chip sets in
the Weitek style should incorporate some of the
ideas that shaped the 68881.bs@faron.UUCP (Robert D. Silverman) (11/22/85)

I don't think we need net cross posting from net.math like this... WATCH YOUR GROUPS!!!!!!!! ALso, there are a few of us who do read net.math who appreciate this announcement, SO USE YOUR "n" KEY next time.... That's the thinking man's tool.
