Computer Arithmetic: Principles, Architecture, and Design

This book is designed to be used in an introductory course for upper-division and first-year graduate students in electrical, mechanical, and industrial engineering, and in computer and mathematical sciences. It is also suitable as a reference book for practicing engineers and computer scientists who are involved in the design, research, or development of digital computing machines. A minimum background in basic logic design is assumed, but no background in electronics is needed nor is a detailed knowledge of the interior circuitry of IC chips required. The book presents machine arithmetic theories and algorithms, processor architectures, design methodologies, and hardware arithmetic functions associated with modern digital computer systems. Arithmetic algorithms and their efficient implementation schemes are illustrated with flowcharts, arithmetic and Boolean equations, schematic logic circuit diagrams, numerical tabulations, control matrices, and case studies of existing high-performance arithmetic processors. Up-to-date literature guides are also provided at the end of each chapter.
