I'm currently doing my bachelor's thesis in electronics. While reading an article, I stumbled upon the sentence "The FPU is based on a PCS accumulator...".

What does PCS stand for? I can't find any information on it.

"It is based on a Partial Carry-Save (PCS) accumulator which aggregates the 48 bit multiplication result".

PCS is partial carry-save accumulator.
