The document provides an overview of MIPS 64-bit processors. It discusses that MIPS 64-bit architecture is backward compatible with MIPS32 and adds 64-bit addressing. Key features include 64-bit virtual addresses, instruction pointer and registers. It has separate integer and floating point units for high performance. The block diagram shows it has on-chip instruction and data caches, a write buffer, and dual issue superscalar pipelined architecture for high efficiency.

15. Block Diagram: It supports four floating-point multiply-add/subtract instructions which allow two separate floating-point computations to be performed with one instruction. The four instructions are : 1. Multiply-add (MADD) 2. Multiply-subtract (MSUB) 3. Negative Multiply-add (NMADD) 4. Negative Multiply-Subtract (NMSUB)
