               Extending Weitek Architecture


                        David Hough



                          ABSTRACT
 
          This paper contains personal opinions of  the
     author which should not be assumed to be the posi-
     tion of any organization.  The Motorola 68881  and
     Weitek  1164/1165 chips have become popular float-
     ing point implementations and represent  different
     decisions  about performance, complexity, and con-
     formance to the IEEE standard. Future chip sets in
     the  Weitek  style  should incorporate some of the
     ideas that shaped the 68881.
