Arithmetic and logic


Anarithmetic/logic unit (ALU) performs integer arithmetic and logicoperations. It also performs shift and rotate operations and other specializedoperations. Usually floating point arithmetic is performed by a dedicatedfloating point unit (FPU), which may be implemented as a co-processor.
