Book Description

0195125835 978-0195125832 September 9, 1999 1st
Ideal for graduate and senior undergraduate level courses in computer arithmetic and advanced digital design, Computer Arithmetic: Algorithms and Hardware Designs provides a balanced, comprehensive treatment of computer arithmetic, covering topics in arithmetic unit design and circuit implementation that complement the architectural and algorithmic speedup techniques used in high-performance computer architecture and parallel processing. Using a unified and consistent framework, the text begins with number representation and proceeds through basic arithmetic operations, floating-point arithmetic, and function evaluation methods. Later chapters cover broad design and implementation topics--including techniques for high-throughput, low-power, and fault-tolerant arithmetic--and also feature brief case studies.
An indispensable resource for instruction, professional development, and research in digital computer arithmetic, Computer Arithmetic: Algorithms and Hardware Designs combines broad coverage of the underlying theories of computer arithmetic with numerous examples of practical designs, worked-out examples, and a large collection of meaningful problems.

Features:
� Divided into 28 lecture-size chapters
� Emphasizes both the underlying theories of computer arithmetic and actual hardware designs
� Carefully links computer arithmetic to other subfields of computer engineering
� Includes over 450 end-of-chapter problems ranging in complexity from simple exercises to mini-projects
� Incorporates many examples of practical designs
� Uses consistent standardized notation throughout
� Instructor's manual includes solutions to text problems, additional exercises, test questions, and enlarged versions of figures and charts

5.0 out of 5 stars One good book, March 23, 2000
By 
Rohit Priyadarshi (Fremont, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Computer Arithmetic: Algorithms and Hardware Designs (Hardcover)
Excellent book if you want to get into DETAILS of computer arithmetic and its hardware implementation.

The lecture style is great as it becomes easy to take breaks in between. It also makes the text very modular, allowing you to choose and read.

It has plenty of diagrams making the text very readable. I like the circle diagrams that the author has used to show the number representation system.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very superficial look at computer arithmetic, October 7, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Computer Arithmetic: Algorithms and Hardware Designs (Hardcover)
Although the author does a good job at explaining arithmetic in the areas of RNS and SD arithmetic, the other topics are done very superficially. The book is a good reference, but you can find better books on understanding computer arithmetic.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for the ASIC architect., May 1, 2002
By 
"fritz_269" (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Computer Arithmetic: Algorithms and Hardware Designs (Hardcover)
I found this book to be extremely helpful in my every-day work. No where else have I found such a concise and accurate description of hardware-friendly number systems and arithmetic algorithms. It's the first place I go when I have a an arithmetic-intensive algorithm to architect. Simply put, my designs got better after I got this book.
