INSTRUCTION AND LOGIC FOR MULTIPLIER SELECTORS FOR MERGING MATH FUNCTIONS
Abstract:
A processor includes a front end with logic to identify a multiplier, multiplicand, and mathematical mode based upon an instruction. The processor also includes a multiplier circuit to apply Booth encoding to multiply the multiplier and multiplicand. The multiplier circuit includes circuitry to determine leftmost and rightmost partial products of multiplying the multiplier and multiplicand using Booth encoding. The circuitry includes a most significant bit (MSB) array and least significant bit (LSB) array corresponding to the multiplier. The multiplier circuit also includes logic to selectively enable selectors of the circuitry to find partial products based upon the mathematical mode of the instruction.
