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.

Parallel prefix computation with few processors

TL;DR: The algorithm is compared with the distributed-memory implementation of the parallel prefix algorithm proposed by Kruskal, Rudolph, and Snir and is shown to be more efficient when n is large and p 2 (p − 1) ≤ 4 τ .
