A new approach to the study of arithmetic circuits

In Synthesis of Arithmetic Circuits: FPGA, ASIC and Embedded
Systems, the authors take a novel approach of presenting methods
and examples for the synthesis of arithmetic circuits that better
reflects the needs of today's computer system designers and
engineers. Unlike other publications that limit discussion to
arithmetic units for general-purpose computers, this text features
a practical focus on embedded systems.

Following an introductory chapter, the publication is divided into
two parts. The first part, Mathematical Aspects and Algorithms,
includes mathematical background, number representation, addition
and subtraction, multiplication, division, other arithmetic
operations, 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. In
addition, the publication distinguishes itself with:

* A separate treatment of algorithms and circuits-a more useful
presentation for both software and hardware implementations

* Complete executable and synthesizable VHDL models available on
the book's companion Web site, allowing readers to generate
synthesizable descriptions

* Proposed FPGA implementation examples, namely synthesizable
low-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 computer
science and embedded system designers, engineers, and researchers
in the field of hardware and software computer system design and
development.

An Instructor Support FTP site is available from the Wiley
editorial department.
