Innovative techniques and cutting-edge research in computer arithmetic design Computer arithmetic is a fundamental discipline that drives many modern digital technologies. High-performance VLSI implementations of 3-D graphics, encryption, streaming digital audio and video, and signal processing all require fast and efficient computer arithmetic algorithms. The demand for these fast implementations has led to a wealth of new research in innovative techniques and designs. Advanced Computer Arithmetic Design is the result of ten years of effort at Stanford University under the Sub-Nanosecond Arithmetic Processor (SNAP) project, which author Michael Flynn directs. Written with computer designers and researchers in mind, this volume focuses on design, rather than on other aspects of computer arithmetic such as number systems, representation, or precision. Each chapter begins with a review of conventional design approaches, analyzes the possibilities for improvement, and presents new research that advances the state of the art. The authors present new data in these vital areas: • Addition and the Ling adder • Improvements to floating-point addition • Encoding to reduce execution times for multiplication • The effects of technology scaling on multiplication • Techniques for floating-point division • Approximation techniques for high-level functions such as square root, logarithms, and trigonometric functions • Assessing cost performance of arithmetic units • Clocking to increase computer operation frequency • New implementation of continued fractions to the approximation of functions This volume presents the results of a decade’s research in innovative and progressive design techniques. Covering all the most important research topics in the field, Advanced Computer Arithmetic Design is the most up-to-date and comprehensive treatment of new research currently available.

Is the truth stranger than fiction? A scandalous tale of political skulduggery Just when you thought it was safe to trust politicians again comes this entertaining new novel of hijinks in very high places. Viciously funny and explosive in its revelations, Party Favours captures that heady mix of power and sex that fuels the political process and has seen the end of many an aspiring politician. A new Liberal government under the leadership of Bobby Laurier has just been elected, signalling the end of a decade of Tory rule, and an ambitious but naive young journalist is about to receive a political education. Fresh from the West, Chris O’Reilly quickly finds himself initiated into the ways of Ottawa. Drawn into a political labyrinth, backroom intrigue and ministerial backstabbing, he stumbles across the scoop of the decade. But can he reveal it and survive? Is he being set up? Is there anyone he can trust? Will he succumb to the temptations all around him? Party Favours unfolds an intriguing and highly entertaining tale of greed, passion and power set against a backdrop of life on Parliament Hill. It’s filled with a cast of memorable (and sometimes strangely familiar) characters — lascivious personal assistants, dotty Senators, ambitious politicians, over-inflated media commentators, Blocheads, failed prime ministers, corrupt lobbyists. Like members of a large feuding family, these people are constantly looking for the rewards they feel are their due But they are really trapped in an invisible web of intrigue spreading from the Prime Minister’s Office, where, seemingly oblivious to the affairs of state, an amiable if slightly befuddled leader worries about his golf game. Writtenby one who is completely at home in the corridors of power but who prefers to remain anonymous, Party Favours reveals that the truth is not stranger than fiction. Don’t miss the most entertaining guessing game of the season!
