(b) Replacing a part of floating-point operation instructions with double-
precision floating-point operation instructions
Only operations require high accuracy are replaced with double-precision floating-
point operation instructions. Using the ECON and EDCON instructions, convert
floating-point data mutually between single precision and double-precision. The
flow of a replacement program is as follows:
• Data required for operations are converted from single precision to double
precision using the ECON instruction.
• Operations are performed in double precision using the double-precision
floating-point operation instructions.
• Operation results are converted from double precision to single precision
using the EDCON instruction.
A program example that floating-point data are converted mutually between single
precision and double precision before and after operations is shown below.
