A pipelined floating point multiplier is disclosed having the capability of interleaving floating point multiplication with iterative floating point operations (calculations), such as division and square-root taking, by making use of idle stages (pipeline bubbles). This is accomplished with minimal additional circuitry over that required for conventional floating-point multipliers, and does not adversely affect the speed of iterative calculations. Method and apparatus are disclosed.
