31. Microcontrollers traditionally do not have a math coprocessor , so floating point arithmetic is performed by software. 32. In that architecture, the coprocessor speeds up floating-point arithmetic on the order of fiftyfold. 33. The Intel 8087 math coprocessor was the first x86 device which supported floating point arithmetic in hardware. 34. The coprocessor was synchronised by passing a dummy byte and then regulated by the relevant buffer semaphore. 35. Many PCs did not have a floating point coprocessor so all FP had to be done in software. 36. The coprocessor board only runs on high-profile machines due to power supply and mechanical spacing requirements. 37. The math coprocessor business rapidly increased starting in 1994 with software products that accelerated applications like Lotus 123. 38. In Hydra, there are multiple computers, each with its own FPGA acting as a chess coprocessor . 39. Microsoft HoloLens uses special custom-designed TSMC-fabricated 28nm coprocessor that has 24 Tensilica DSP cores. 40. A . A math coprocessor takes the load of calculating mathematics off a personal computer's main chip.
