CMPE 419 - Computer Arithmetic Algorithms and Implementations (3)

This course introduces students to the algorithms employed in modern Arithmetic Logic Units (ALUs) and DSP processors to realize arithmetic operations. The topics covered include introduction to arithmetic, unconventional fixed-radix number systems, redundant representations, sequential algorithms for multiplication and division, binary floating point numbers, fast addition and multiplication, fast division, evaluation of elementary functions (polynomial/rational function methods as well as CORDIC), logarithmic and residue number representations. Other topics are covered in articles from current literature in the area. Some knowledge of material from CMPE 315 is beneficial but not essential.
