Honored ContributorLiterature on basic arithmetic function implementations or architectures.
Hi,
I am looking for literature on basic arithmetic function implementations or architectures. Like what you would find in an Arithmetic Logic Unit. I would like to know more about different implementations of things like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, root and exponentiation, and maybe even sine and cosine functions. Preferably in VHDL but Verilog is ok. I want to compare things like size, speed, accuracy, complexity and power consumption. Can any of you guide me in direction of relevant literature like books, scientific papers or webpages? Thank you!2 Replies
Altera_ForumYou can look in DSP related references (see the references in this tutorial);
http://www.ovro.caltech.edu/~dwh/correlator/pdf/esc-104paper_hawkins.pdf For general computer architecture, take a look at; "Computer Architecture a Quantitative Approach", Hennessy and Patterson "The art of computer programming", Knuth (there's several volumes) eg., Patterson's book appendix A is all about computer arithmetic.

Hi,
Altera Synthesis Cookbook might be interesting for you: http://www.altera.com/literature/manual/stx_cookbook.pdf It has bunch of examples here: http://www.altera.com/literature/manual/cookbook.zip Thanks, Evgeni
