(b) Replacing a part of floating-point operation instructions with double-precision floating-point
operation instructions
Only operations that require high accuracy are replaced with double-precision floating-point opera-
tion instructions.
Using the ECON and EDCON instructions, convert floating-point data mutually between single pre-
cision 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 instruc-
tions.
• 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.
