===Floating-point Extensions (FIX)=== Floating-point extensions (FIX) are an extension to the Alpha Architecture. It introduces nine instructions for floating-point square-root and for transferring data to and from the integer registers and floating-point registers. The [[Alpha 21264]] (EV6) is the first microprocessor to implement these instructions. {| class="wikitable" |- ! width="120" | Mnemonic ! width="360" | Instruction |- | <code>FTOIS</code> | Floating-point to Integer Register Move, S_floating |- | <code>FTOIT</code> | Floating-point to Integer Register Move, T_floating |- | <code>ITOFF</code> | Integer to Floating-point Register Move, F_floating |- | <code>ITOFS</code> | Integer to Floating-point Register Move, S_floating |- | <code>ITOFT</code> | Integer to Floating-point Register Move, T_floating |- | <code>SQRTF</code> | Square root F_floating |- | <code>SQRTG</code> | Square root G_floating |- | <code>SQRTS</code> | Square root S_floating |- | <code>SQRTT</code> | Square root T_floating |- |}
