Systematic design of multi-modulus/multi-function Residue Number System processors
Vassilis Paliouras, Thanos Stouraitis · 2002
A methodology for the design of novel Residue Number System (RNS) processors is presented. It results in ROM-less processors, which perform basic residue arithmetic algorithms in more than one moduli channel, either serially or concurrently. Moreover, the proposed architectures achieve area savings, while operating at a high throughput rate. Criteria for selecting the most appropriate moduli of operation are presented. The derived architectures are compared to memory- and full adder-based designs.>
