A Regular Layout for Parallel Adders

TLDR
It is shown that addition of n-bit binary numbers can be performed on a chip with a regular layout in time proportional to log n and with area proportional to n.
Abstract
With VLSI architecture, the chip area and design regularity represent a better measure of cost than the conventional gate count. We show that addition of n-bit binary numbers can be performed on a chip with a regular layout in time proportional to log n and with area proportional to n.

Effects of floating-point non-associativity on numerical computations on massively multithreaded systems

TL;DR: Floating-point operations, as dened in the IEEE754 standard, are not associative, so the ordering of large numbers of operations that deal with operands of substantially different magnitudes can signicantly vary.

Towards optimal performance-area trade-off in adders by synthesis of parallel prefix structures

TL;DR: An efficient algorithm to synthesize prefix graph structures that yield adders with the best performance-area trade-off and can handle more complex constraints such as maximum node fanout or wire-length that impact the performance/area of a design and generate several feasible solutions that minimize the objective function.

Algorithm transformations for unlimited parallelism

TL;DR: A unified algebraic basis for transforming algorithms to achieve unlimited parallelism is provided and a certain class of algebraic structures is shown to be sufficient for the application of the look-ahead computation of recursive algorithms.

Mechanical Verification of Adder Circuits using Rewrite RuleLaboratory

TL;DR: There is strong evidence that the proposed methodology for generating proofs should scale up for large circuits exhibiting regularity that can be described using divide-and-conquer strategy in terms of powerlists.

Parallel Prefix Computation

TL;DR: A recurstve construction is used to obtain a product circuit for solving the prefix problem and a Boolean clrcmt which has depth 2[Iog2n] + 2 and size bounded by 14n is obtained for n-bit binary addmon.
