High-speed Multiplier Design Using Multi-Operand Multipliers

Nezhad, Mohammad Reza Reshadi, Navi, Kaivan 01 April 2012 (has links)
Multipliers are used in most arithmetic computing systems such as 3D graphics, signal processing, and etc. It is inherently a slow operation as a large number of partial products are added to produce the result. There has been much work done on designing multipliers [1]-[6]. In first stage, Multiplication is implemented by accumulation of partial products, each of which is conceptually produced via multiplying the whole multi-digit multiplicand by a weighted digit of multiplier. To compute partial products, most of the approaches employ the Modified Booth Encoding (MBE) approach [3]-[5], [7], for the first step because of its ability to cut the number of partial products rows in half. In next step the partial products are reduced to a row of sums and a row of caries which is called reduction stage. / Multiplication is one of the major bottlenecks in most digital computing and signal processing systems, which depends on the word size to be executed. This paper presents three deferent designs for three-operand 4-bit multiplier for positive integer multiplication, and compares them in regard to timing, dynamic power, and area with classical method of multiplication performed on today architects. The three-operand 4-bit multipliers structure introduced, serves as a building block for three-operand multipliers in general

THE HUMAN HEARTH AND THE DAWN OF MORALITY

Rappaport, Margaret Boone, Corbally, Christopher 12 1900 (has links)
Stunned by the implications of Colage's analysis of the cultural activation of the brain's Visual Word Form Area and the potential role of cultural neural reuse in the evolution of biology and culture, the authors build on his work in proposing a context for the first rudimentary hominin moral systems. They cross-reference six domains: neuroscience on sleep, creativity, plasticity, and the Left Hemisphere Interpreter; palaeobiology; cognitive science; philosophy; traditional archaeology; and cognitive archaeology's theories on sleep changes in Homo erectus and consequences for later humans. The authors hypothesize that the human genome, when analyzed with findings from neuroscience and cognitive science, will confirm the evolutionary timing of an internal running monologue and other neural components that constitute moral decision making. The authors rely on practical modern philosophers to identify continuities with earlier primates, and one major discontinuitysome bright white moral line that may have been crossed more than once during the long and successful tenure of Homo erectus on Earth.
