Verilog generator for multipliers based on recursive RNS arithmetic

Choose number of bits of multiplier inputs (from 5 to 64) :
Selected number of bits: 5 (Maximal output value: 1024)
Value of power n for basis 1: {2n-1, 2n, 2n+1}: 4 (Maximal value: 4080)
Value of power n1 for basis 2: {2n1-1, 2n1, 2n1+1}: 3 (Maximal value: 504 > (2n+1)2)
Basis 1: {24-1, 24, 24+1} or [15, 16, 17]
Basis 2: {23-1, 23, 23+1} or [7, 8, 9]



Description: Generator of conventional binary multiplier, where input operands have n bit length and output has 2*n bit length. Multiplication is done based on RNS arithmetic and special moduli sets {2n-1, 2n, 2n+1}, which are used twice in hierarchy. As the result, nine parallel channels are formed. However, two stages of direct and inverse converters are needed.

Work scheme


First results (05.2013): For 32 bits this method is slower and takes more area than conventional RNS multiplication with basis {2n-1, 2n, 2n+1}. Delay is 6.87 compared to 4.30, area is 43401 compared to 31879. Possible variants of speed-up: merging of two levels of direct converters into one due to new mathematical tools, merging of reverse converters and intermediate module calculation. More research in this direction is needed.
