1.4.7.1 Arithmetic and Load/Store Pipelines
The A2 core has a single execution pipeline. The pipeline handles all computational instructions and reads
from and writes to the FPRs, Floating-Point Status and Control Register (FPSCR), and the Condition Register
(CR).
1.4.8 IEEE 754 and Architectural Compliance
The A2 core is IEEE 754 and Power ISA compliant and implements single-precision and double-precision
instructions.
