CSE 2468 Motivation Why do we care about arithmetic algorithms and hardware design?  Classic problems – well defined  Advancements will have a huge impact Solutions will be widely used  New paradigms Interconnect effects: clock, control, bus, signal Low power designs Wider bit width Reliability centric designs FPGAs and nano technologies

CSE 2469 Motivation  Should a new business focus on building market or new technology?  New technology: a market will be built around new technology

CSE Topics  Numbers Binary numbers, negative numbers, redundant numbers, residual numbers  Addition/Subtraction Prefix adders (zero deficiency)  Multiplication/Division  Floating point operations  Functions: (sqrt),log, exp, CORDIC  Optimization, analysis, fault tolerance

CSE Other Topics  Potential focus on the following topics: Power reduction Interconnect FPGAs

CSE Goals/Background  Why do you want to take this class? What would you like to learn? Fulfill course requirement Hardware Software Work Research Curiosity

CSE Agenda  Administration  Motivation  Lecture 1: Numbers

CSE Numbers  Special Symbols Symbols used to represent a value Roman Numerals 1 = I 100 = C 5 = V 500 = D 10 = X1000 = M 50 = L For example: 2004 = MMIV

CSE Numbers  Position Symbols The value depends on the position of the number  For example: 125 = One 100, Two 10s, and Five 1s Another example: 1 hour, 3 minutes Positional systems includes radixes: 2, -2, 2, 2j (imaginary)

CSE Numbers  Summation of positional numbers Given: Value is: (where y is the base) For example:  Consider   Note that position systems provide a complete range of numbers (e.g. – 2 to 5)

CSE Numbers (Radix Conversion)  Repeatedly divide the integer by (R)r  Repeatedly multiply the fraction by (R)r  Example (201.31) 10 =( ) 5 (x k-1, …, x 0. X -1, …, x -l ) r =(X K-1, …, X 0. X -1, …, X -L ) R

CSE Numbers  Avoid Division (Montgomory System)  Simplify Mod operation mod r-1, mod r+1 Example: mod 9 = mod 9 = 12 mod 9 = mod 11 = 2-9+1mod 11 = -6 mod 11 = 5

CSE Signed Numbers  Biased numbers  Signed Bit  Complementary representation Positive number: x (mod p) Negative number:(M-x) (mod p) (Note: mod p is added implicitly) One ’ s complement Two ’ s complement Flip each bit Flip each bit + 1 Two ’ s complement can be used for subtraction M=2 n -1 M=2 n

CSE Signed Numbers  Two ’ s complement subtraction: (M-x+M-y) mod M = M-(x+y)  Two ’ s complement conversion: Positive number: To negative:

CSE Signed Numbers  Two ’ s complement Proof as follows: Which leads to: Example:

CSE Next time  Talk about redundant numbers
