Functional units question.

Will the ADD and SUB operators use the same functional unit or will there
be total of 4 functional units: 2 for ADD and 2 for SUB?

  Each operation gets its own pair of functional units; add has two adding
  units, sub has two subtracting units, and so on.

Will logical operations like AND, OR, and NOT also have 2 functional units for
each operation?

  Each operation gets its own pair of functional units; bit-wise and has two
  bit-wise anding units, bit-wise or has two bit-wise oring units, and so on.

  Unary operations such as not and negation have only one argument, which you
  can think of as being both the source and destination:

    neg r0

  has the effect of

    r0 = -r0
