what is a multiplier
What is a Multiplier?
  • IC block that perform multiplication operation
  • Well-known logic architectures
  • Computationally-intensive
  • Wide usage in DSP, Graphics, Microprocessors
structure of multiplier
Structure of Multiplier

Inputs

  • Multiplier block consists of 3 parts (written in the order of data-flow)
    • Partial Product Generator (PPGen)
    • Partial Product Reduction Tree (PPRT)
    • Final Carry-Propagation Adder (CPA)

final adder in a multiplier
Final Adder in a Multiplier
  • Frequently used adder architectures
    • Ripple-Carry
      • Area-efficient, but slow
      • Timing-efficient if inputs have skewed arrival time
    • Parallel-Prefix architecture (Brent-Kung, Kogge-Stone)
      • Faster architecture
      • Requires more area
    • Carry-Select
      • Large area overhead (often >100%)
      • Better delay if Cin signal arrives late.
3 stage hybrid adder
3-stage Hybrid Adder
  • Multipliers exhibit a typical arrival time pattern (in the input of the CPA)
  • Hybrid adder produces best result for Multipliers
  • This outperforms all stand-alone architectures

3-Stage Hybrid Adder

There are many possible configurations (w1, w2and w3).

Exhaustive exploration is not feasible (huge runtime)

How to identify the best configuration?

identification of optimal topology
Identification of Optimal Topology
  • Width of the Ripple adder
    • At every bit (i), compute T(Ci+1) and check if
      • T(Ci+1) ≤ T(ai+1) or
      • T(Ci+1) ≤ T(bi+1)
    • If check passes, wrpl = i+1
    • Else continue checking until 3 consecutive bits fail the check (Hill Climbing)
    • Return the value i as the Ripple Adder width

identification of optimal topology9
Identification of Optimal Topology
  • Width of the BK and Carry-Select Adders
    • Initial Configuration
      • wbk = 2p, where p= log2 (n – wrpl)
      • wcs = n – wbk – wrpl
      • Example: If n=32 and wrpl=7 then wbk=16 and wcs=9
    • Iterative approach
    • Estimate delay of a configuration and explore in the appropriate direction (similar to Binary Search)
results
Results
  • For different adder widths, our approach always found best configuration in very short runtime.
  • Runtime example: for a 32-bit Adder,
    • Trying all possible configurations (561) takes 16-23 hours of runtime
    • Our approach takes 4-18 minutes of runtime and always computes the best configuration.

Results
  • Now, it is feasible to use this powerful hybrid-adder architecture during synthesis (~12% faster adder).
