With the latter part of the last century in mind, it is not hard to imagine that in the foreseeable future, there will be a never-ending demand for increased data processing capability. The arithmetic logic unit (ALU) is the core of the CPU in a computer. Arithmetic circuits are power-hungry and performance-limiting in nature. Therefore, by improving these circuits, the overall performance of the computer systems can be improved significantly.
This book discusses the modeling and analysis of various arithmetic circuits by Tanner EDA Software.
