Addition is the most frequent floating-point operation in modem microprocessors. Due to its complex shift-add-shift-round data flow, floating-point addition can have a long latency. To achieve maximum system performance, it is necessary to design the floating-point adder to have minimum latency, wh
In the conventional Β―oating point multipliers, the rounding stage is usually constructed by using a high speed adder for the increment operation, increasing the overall execution time and occupying a large amount of chip area. Furthermore, it may accompany additional execution time and hardware comp
