研究和设计了一种面向多媒体应用的32位短向量快速加法器,该加法器以SK型并行前缀加法器为基础,通过有效控制进位链,实现了同时执行4个基于字节的加法,或者2个基于半字的加法,或者1个基于字的加法,或者1个基于单精度浮点数的比较运算.综合结果表明,此设计方法同传统的设计方法相比,电路面积接近,时序提高了10%,总体性能较优.
This paper studies and designs a novel 32-bit short vectors fast adder for multimedia application. The adder, which is based on Sklansky Parallel-Prefix adder, by controlling the carry chain, realizes both of four and two paralleled addition operations, with 8-bit and 16-bit addends respectively. It also supports one addition operation with 32-bit addends, as well as the comparison operation between single-precision floating-point data. Synthesis shows that, compared with traditional design, the overall performance of our novel adder is better, with a circuit area approach and a timing improved by 10 percent.
