I thought it was present on POWER systems (wikipedia says so), which you can freely access on https://portal.cfarm.net/ for open source development? -- Marc Glisse My understanding is POWER6 and 7 had it and 8+ don’t. IBM z9 and z10, and variants of SPARC64 also had support. Unless I’m missing a modern architecture that has support I don’t think investigating interoperability is worthwhile. The RISC-V spec has a section for a decimal floating point unit, but it’s just a placeholder. Matt
