An architecture for a fast 32-bit floating point multiplier compliant with the single precision IEEE 754-2008 standard has been proposed in this paper. This design intends to make the multiplier faster by reducing the delay caused by the propagation of the carry by implementing adders having the least power delay constant. The implementation of the multiplier module has been done in a top down approach. The sub-modules have been written in Verilog HDL and then synthesized and simulated using the Xilinx ISE 12.1 targeted on the Spartan 3E FPGA.
