The reconfigurable arithmetic unit can perform an addition operation or a multiplication operation according to an instruction by sharing an adder. The reconfigurable arithmetic unit includes a booth encoder for encoding a multiplier, a partial product generator for generating a plurality of partial products using the encoded multiplier and a multiplicand, a Wallace tree circuit for compressing the partial products into a first partial product and a second partial product, a first Multiplexer (MUX) for selecting and outputting one of the first partial product and a first addition input according to a selection signal, a second MUX for selecting and outputting one of the second partial product and a second addition input according to the selection signal, and a Carry Propagation Adder (CPA) for adding an output of the first MUX and an output of the second MUX to output an operation result. The arithmetic unit can operate as an adder or a multiplier according to an instruction, and thus can increase the degree of use of entire hardware.

    摘要: Provided is a parallel processor for supporting a floating-point operation. The parallel processor has a flexible structure for easy development of a parallel algorithm involving multimedia computing, requires low hardware cost, and consumes low power. To support floating-point operations, the parallel processor uses floating-point accumulators and a flag for floating-point multiplication. Using the parallel processor, it is possible to process a geometric transformation operation in a 3-dimensional (3D) graphics process at low cost. Also, the cost of a bus width for instructions can be minimized by a partitioned Single-Instruction Multiple-Data (SIMD) method and a method of conditionally executing instructions.

    摘要: Provided is a low-power clock gating circuit using a Multi-Threshold CMOS (MTCMOS) technique. The low-power clock gating circuit includes a latch circuit of an input stage and an AND gate circuit of an output stage, in which power consumption caused by leakage current in the clock gating circuit is reduced in a sleep mode, and supply of a clock to a unused device of a targeted logic circuit is prevented by the control of a clock enable signal in an active mode, thereby reducing power consumption. The low-power clock gating circuit using an MTCMOS technique uses devices having a low threshold voltage and devices having a high threshold voltage, which makes it possible to implement a high-speed, low-power circuit, unlike a conventional clock gating circuit using a single threshold voltage.
