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.

Pipelining saturated accumulation

TL;DR: This work shows how to reformulate saturated addition as an associative operation so that it can be used as a parallel-prefix calculation to perform saturated accumulation at any data rate supported by the device.

Bit-slice logic interleaving for spatial multi-bit soft-error tolerance

TL;DR: A new fault model is explored and the effectiveness of conventional fault tolerance techniques to mitigate spatial multi-bit error mitigation in logic is evaluated using a case study of a Brent-Kung adder at a 90-nm process.
