Synthesis of Arithmetic Circuits: FPGA, ASIC and Embedded Systems (Repost)

A new approach to the study of arithmetic circuits
In Synthesis of Arithmetic Circuits: FPGA, ASIC and EmbeddedSystems, the authors take a novel approach of presenting methodsand examples for the synthesis of arithmetic circuits that betterreflects the needs of today's computer system designers andengineers. Unlike other publications that limit discussion toarithmetic units for general-purpose computers, this text featuresa practical focus on embedded systems.
Following an introductory chapter, the publication is divided intotwo parts. The first part, Mathematical Aspects and Algorithms,includes mathematical background, number representation, additionand subtraction, multiplication, division, other arithmeticoperations, and operations in finite fields. The second part,Synthesis of Arithmetic Circuits, includes hardware platforms,general principles of synthesis, adders and subtractors,multipliers, dividers, and other arithmetic primitives. Inaddition, the publication distinguishes itself with:
* A separate treatment of algorithms and circuits-a more usefulpresentation for both software and hardware implementations
* Complete executable and synthesizable VHDL models available onthe book's companion Web site, allowing readers to generatesynthesizable descriptions
* Proposed FPGA implementation examples, namely synthesizablelow-level VHDL models for the Spartan II and Virtex families
* Two chapters dedicated to finite field operations
This publication is a must-have resource for students in computerscience and embedded system designers, engineers, and researchersin the field of hardware and software computer system design anddevelopment.
