The 8087 was the first math coprocessor for 16 bit processors designed by Intel (the I8231 was older but designed for the 8 bit Intel 8080); it was built to be paired with the Intel 8088 and 8086 mi...

Math Coprocessor; The Math Coprocessor is a second processor in your computer that does nothing but number crunching for the system. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of simple numbers is not the coprocessors job.

1 Is there any way a programmer can view and alter or enhance the programming of a math coprocessor and graphics processing unit? I'm interested in how pcs use basic mathematics, esp multiplication. Is this done directly through the os o...

It's perfectly suited to batch applications, where you submit a block of data to the coprocessor, let it run, and eventually get back the result--which is most really high-end math computation. (Consider Seti@Home, and replace "PCI" with "Internet".);
