Floating point operations on a hardware CPU are expected to be provided as part of a Floating Point Unit or FPU. This unit provides additional behaviors beyond raw floating point operations, including the FPU rounding mode, FPU flags, spec-compliant NaN handling, float-to-uint conversions and float-to-int-conversions.
