    Abstract: The single chip multiprocessor has 2 symmetrical processors (101,102) and a common execution unit, utilized by each of the processors, with transfer of data from each of the processors to the common execution unit in successive clock cycles. An Independent claim for a manufacturing method for a multiprocessor is also included.

    Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP95/01455 Sec. 371 Date May 13, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date May 13, 1997 PCT Filed Apr. 18, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/33456 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 24, 1996A method and apparatus for the determination of leading zero digits of a sum is presented herein. The technique incorporates the parallel determination of partial sums of single digits accounting for the possibility of carries and on the basis thereof the pre-determination of potential zero digits or potential leading zero digits. Upon the establishment of a correct partial sum, the potential zero digits are selected and evaluated thereby determining the leading zero digits. The invention may be implemented in an adder in parallel or via a hierarchical structure. The parallelism permits time-savings in the determination of a normalized sum. The invention is preferably incorporated into adders, floating point computing units and/or data processing units.
