Course Goal

This course develops background to cpu architect with a special focus on implementation aspects.

Course Content

Computer arithmetic is an active research area that focusses on the design of data path units in modern processor designs. This course handles the theoretical aspects of the computer arithmetic with a focus of hardware implementation. The following topics will be covered, digital number systems, floating-point number formats, high-performance adder circuit design, parallel-prefix adders, conditional sum adders, high performance multiplier circuits, array multipliers, tree multipliers, multiply-add circuitry, parallel division algorithms and implementation of dividers.

Course Precondition

Digital Design.
