At least one processor may emulate a fused multiply-add operation for a first operand, a second operand, and a third operand. The at least one processor may determine an intermediate value based at least in part on multiplying the first operand with the second operand, determine at least one of an upper intermediate value or a lower intermediate value, wherein determining the upper intermediate value comprises rounding, towards zero, the intermediate value by a specified number of bits, and wherein determining the lower intermediate value comprises subtracting the intermediate value by the upper intermediate value, determine an upper value and a lower value based at least in part on adding or subtracting the third operand to one of the upper intermediate value or the lower intermediate value, and determine an emulated fused multiply-add result by adding the upper value and the lower value.
