    摘要: A method and apparatus are described for performing multiplication in a processor to generate a product. In one embodiment, a 64-bit multiplier and a 64-bit multiplicand may be multiplied together over four cycles by merging different partial product (PP) subsets, generated by a Booth encoder and a PP generator, with feedback sum and carry results. The logic inputs of a plurality of multiplexers may be selected on a cyclical basis to efficiently compress (i.e., merge) each PP subset with feedback sum and carry results. A pair of preliminary sum results stored during one cycle may be outputted during a subsequent cycle and processed by a logic gate (e.g., an XOR gate) to generate a feedback sum result that is merged with a feedback carry result and a PP subset. Final sum and carry results may be added to generate the product of the multiplier and the multiplicand.
