A method for managing a floating-point unit (FPU) resource is applied to an electronic device. The electronic device includes a computing circuit and a memory. The memory stores a first variable and a second variable. The computing circuit includes an FPU. The FPU comprises an FPU register. The computing circuit operates in one of a first state, a second state, and a third state. The management method includes the following steps: (A) setting the first variable to point to an address of the second variable when the computing circuit switches from the first state to the second state, and the first variable is in an initial state; (B) filling the FPU register with an FPU context of the second variable; and (C) controlling the computing circuit to switch to the second state.
An electronic device, comprising:
A management method for a floating-point unit (FPU) resource, applied to an electronic device comprising a computing circuit and a memory that stores a first variable and a second variable, wherein the computing circuit comprises an FPU that comprises an FPU register, and the computing circuit operates in one of a first state, a second state, and a third state, the management method comprising:
