The integer rotate instructions are summarized in Table 2-10. For more information, see the PowerPC Micro-
processor Family: The Programming Environments Manual.
Integer Shift Instructions
The integer shift instructions perform left and right shifts. Immediate-form logical (unsigned) shift operations
are obtained by specifying masks and shift values for certain rotate instructions. Simplified mnemonics
(shown in Appendix F, “Simplified Mnemonics,” in the PowerPC Microprocessor Family: The Programming
Environments Manual) are provided to make coding of such shifts simpler and easier to understand.
Multiple-precision shifts can be programmed as shown in Appendix C, “Multiple-Precision Shifts,” in the
PowerPC Microprocessor Family: The Programming Environments Manual. The integer shift instructions are
summarized in Table 2-11.
2.3.4.2 Floating-Point Instructions
This section describes the floating-point instructions, which include the following:
• Floating-point arithmetic instructions
• Floating-point multiply/add instructions
• Floating-point rounding and conversion instructions
• Floating-point compare instructions
• Floating-point status and control register instructions
• Floating-point move instructions
See Section 2.3.4.3 on page 98 for information about floating-point loads and stores.
The PowerPC Architecture supports a floating-point system as defined in the IEEE 754-1985 standard, but
requires software support to conform with that standard. All floating-point operations conform to the IEEE
754-1985 standard, except if software sets FPSCR[NI] to the non-IEEE mode.
Floating-Point Arithmetic Instructions
The floating-point arithmetic instructions are summarized in Table 2-12.
