FIELD: information technologies.
SUBSTANCE: method and device to handle exception with a floating point in a processor performs instructions with one flow of instructions and multiple data flows (SIMD). Number exceptions are identified for an operation with a floating point of SIMD, and SIMD microoperations are initiated to generate two packet partial results of a packet result for an operation of SIMD floating point. A microoperation of SIMD denormalisation is initiated to combine two packet partial results and to denormalise one or more elements of combined packet partial results, to generate a packet result for operation with SIMD floating point, having one or more denormalised elements. Flags are sent and stored with packet partial results for identification of denormalised elements.
EFFECT: improved efficiency with usage of non-normalised numbers.
