Study Notes

Booth Multiplication Algorithm

The main advantage of using the Booth algorithm in multiplication is the reduction of the number of operations.
In the standard procedure, 2 appropriately shifted versions of the multiplicand are added.
The Booth algorithm reduces the number of operations by recoding the multiplier to minimize the number of additions.

Booth Multiplication Scheme

Recoding the multiplier as 0 +1000-10 in Booth Multiplication scheme helps to reduce the number of operations.
The main purpose of recoding is to minimize the number of additions.

Multiplier and Multiplicand

Having more 1's in a multiplier makes the multiplication process more complex.
The Booth algorithm tries to achieve a reduction in the number of operations when the multiplier has large blocks of 1's.
The multiplier bits are discarded after they are used in the multiplication process.

Negative Multiplier and Multiplicand

The sign-bit value of a negative multiplicand needs to be inverted when adding it to a partial product.
The multiplication algorithm does not work properly for a negative multiplier.
A solution to handle a negative multiplier is to invert the sign bit and add 1 to the multiplier.

Carry-Save Addition

The purpose of holding the carry-out from the adder in the C flip-flop is to perform Carry-Save Addition.
Carry-Save Addition is used to reduce the number of vectors.
After grouping all S and C vectors into threes, 3 vectors are present.
The purpose of Carry-Save Addition is to speed up the multiplication process.

Booth-Recoded Multiplier

When analyzing the Booth-recoded multiplier, 2 bits are examined at a time.
Examining the Booth-recoded multiplier two bits at a time reduces the number of operations.
For each pair of multiplier bits, 1 or 2 versions of the multiplicand are added to the partial product.

Restoring Division Algorithm

The extra bit position at the left end of both A and M in the restoring division algorithm is used to store the carry-out.
The nonrestoring division algorithm performs a subtraction operation if A is negative.
If the sign of A is 1 after a certain operation, q0 is set to 1.
Step 2 is required in the nonrestoring division algorithm to restore the value of A.
If the sign of A is 0, the nonrestoring division algorithm performs a subtraction operation.
Performing 2A + M in nonrestoring division represents a shift operation.

IEEE Single Precision Format

The sign of the number is located in the most significant bit in the IEEE Single Precision Format.
The exponent value E' has a range of 0 to 254.
The mantissa occupies 23 bits in the Single Precision Format.
The excess-127 format represents the biased exponent in the Single Precision Format.
The actual exponent E has a range of -126 to 127.
The part of the floating point number storage assumed to be to the immediate left of the binary point is the implicit 1.
