Digital Arithmetic (Hardcover)

Digital arithmetic plays an important role in the design of general purpose digital processors and of embedded systems for signal processing, graphics and communications. In spite of a mature body of knowledge in digital arithmetic, each new generation of processors or digital systems creates new arithmetic design problems. Graduate students, researchers and designers will find good solutions to these problems with this comprehensive state-of-the-art exposition of digital arithmetic.  
 
Ercegovac and Lang provide a unified treatment of digital arithmetic, tying the underlying theory and design practice in a technology-independent manner. They consistently use an algorithmic approach in defining arithmetic operations, illustrate concepts with examples of designs at the logic level, and discuss cost/performance characteristics throughout. Students and practicing designers alike will find Digital Arithmetic a definitive reference and a consistent teaching tool for developing a deep understanding of the "arithmetic style" of algorithms and designs.
