- ALU MUX
Examples
-
The LZD in the CPA stage fell in a time-critical path and was not used, since introducing a 2:1 mux in the path would compromise timing.
Academic text (1996) -
The output of the offset adder is routed through the A cell mux to the ALU.
-

Academic text (1994) -
The MUX-FSM is based on a unique principle of fiber-surface coupling.
Academic text (2006) -
It also provides data steering signals (register and MUX selects) to other sections of the chip during the execution of move to and move from special-purpose register instructions.
Academic text (1994) -
Store data from the fixed-point unit passes through each execution unit directly to the FXU pending-store queue (PSQ) register and does not use the ALU MUX result data bus.
Academic text (1994) -
Each ALU MUX drives the result data bus, from which data may be steered through bypass MUXes to the S-latch, A-latch, or B-latch, in addition to being latched by the register file input register.

Etymology
The word mux is short for multi- + plex, where multi- means 'many' and plex is the same part in words like multiplex that means 'many things put together', so a mux is a device that combines many signals into one or selects one from many.
