ASYNCHRONOUS PARALLEL ARITHMETIC PROCESSOR UTILIZING COEFFICIENT POLYNOMIAL ARITHMETIC (CPA)

Sets of coefficient polynomials are used to design embedded-component architectures that have capability for asynchronous parallel execution at an advantageous arithmetic level where algebraic merging is realized with other operations, algorithms or applications. Because of the particular hardware structures made possible by the use of CPA, higher computational granularities and complex modules are more easily feasible than by using conventional arithmetic and, additionally, increased efficiency is obtained for algorithmic computations involving single and multiple operations. This is achieved by the merging of operations and the integration of algorithms, and thereby avoiding the necessity of performing the entire basic arithmetic separately for each operation or algorithm. In the Asynchronous Parallel Arithmetic (APA) Processor Utilizing Coefficient Polynomial Arithmetic (CPA), the various sets of coefficient polynomials represent the merged operations or algorithms at much earlier time slots and their resolution to the final result level is accomplished with notably increased efficiency when compared to conventional structures.
