SPARC Assembly/Multiplication and Division
Reference material by Wikibooks contributors. This retains its source identity and is not 411 news reporting.
Looking through the lists of instructions, it becomes clear that multiplication and division operations are not provided in SPARC: at least not in a form that most programmers are familiar with. This page is going to discuss the algorithms used to perform multiplication and division operations in SPARC
Example
To multiply %l3 and %l4 and store in %l5:
mov%l3%o0! First operand
mov%l4%o1! Second operand
call.mul! Result stored in %o0
! To divide %l3 by %l4, use .div
! To find the modulus, use .rem
nop! Delay slot
mov%o0%l5! Copy result to %l5
