What Chips Support Which Exceptions? A Survey

[Steve Stevenson]

While the arrival of the IEEE floating point standards have gone a
long way towards making life easier for numerical programming, we have
a *long* way to go. Kahan has continued to sound the alarm on how
slowly the manufacturers are coming into compliance. But there is
another even more insidious situation: exceptions. While IEEE states
the floating point exceptions (the situation is not so wonderful as
you might expect), there is no similar guarantee with *integer*
exceptions. The problem with integer exceptions is not new news but
there is no catalog of what chips support what.

I am trying to develop such a catalog. The survey is found on

If you have experience/knowledge about "comodity" chips (no matter how 
exotic/erotic), would you please check the site and help me collect
the information.


Best regards,
