Floating point
Abstract
This chapter introduces the floating point operations that are equivalent to the operations provided by the vector floating point processor available on ARMv7 and earlier processors. An example is given of using them to implement the sine function, and the performance of the assembly function is compared to the performance of the sine function provided by the GNU C standard library.
