A New High Radix-2r (r ≥ 8) Multibit Recoding Algorithm for Large Operand Size (N ≥ 32) Multipliers.
Résumé
This paper addresses the problem of multiplication with large operand sizes (N≥32). We propose a new recursive recoding algorithm that shortens the critical path of the multiplier and reduces the hardware complexity of partial-product-generators as well. The new recoding algorithm provides an optimal space/time partitioning of the multiplier architecture for any size N of the operands. As a result, the critical path is drastically reduced to 33 N / 2 - 3 with no area overhead in comparison to modified Booth algorithm that shows a critical path of N/2 in adder stages. For instance, only 7 adder stages are needed for a 64-bit two's complement multiplier. Confronted to reference algorithms for N=64, important gain ratios of 1.62, 1.71, 2.64 are obtained in terms of multiply-time, energy consumption per multiply- operation, and total gate count, respectively.
