or to blocks of addresses specified by the combination of DAC1 and DAC2. The contents of DAC1
or DAC2 are compared to the address generated by a data storage access instruction.
2.14 SPE and SPFP APU Registers
The SPE and SPFP include the signal processing and embedded floating-point status and control
register (SPEFSCR), described in
Section 2.14.1, “Signal Processing and Embedded
Floating-Point Status and Control Register (SPEFSCR).”
The SPE implements a 64-bit
accumulator, described in
Section 2.14.2, “Accumulator (ACC).”
NOTE
The SPE APU and embedded floating-point APU functionality is
implemented in all PowerQUICC III devices. However, these
instructions will not be supported in devices subsequent to
PowerQUICC III. Freescale Semiconductor strongly recommends
that use of these instructions be confined to libraries and device
drivers. Customer software that uses SPE or embedded floating-point
APU instructions at the assembly level or that uses SPE intrinsics will
require rewriting for upward compatibility with next-generation
PowerQUICC devices.
Freescale Semiconductor offers a libmoto_e500 library that uses SPE
instructions. Freescale will also provide libraries to support
next-generation PowerQUICC devices.
2.14.1 Signal Processing and Embedded Floating-Point Status and
Control Register (SPEFSCR)
The SPEFSCR is used by the SPE and embedded floating-point APUs. Vector floating-point
instructions affect both the high element (bits 34-39) and low element floating-point status flags
(bits 50–55). Single- and double-precision (e500v2 only) floating-point instructions affect only the
low-element floating-point status flags and leave the high-element floating-point status flags
undefined.
