Abstract

In this paper, we present a new addition algorithm-ELM. This algorithm makes use of a tree of simple processors and requires O(log n) time, where n is the number of bits in the augend and addend. The sum itself is computed in one pass through the tree. This algorithm was discovered by a VLSI CAD tool, FACTOR, developed at Penn State for use in synthesizing CMOS VLSI circuits.
