New algorithms and VLSI architectures for SRT division and square root

Abstract

Radix two algorithms for SRT division and square-rooting are developed. For these schemes, the result digits and the residuals are computed concurrently and the computations in adjacent rows are overlapped. Consequently, their performance should exceed that of the radix 2 SRT methods. VLSI array architectures for implementing the new division and square-rooting methods are also presented.<>
