Presentation Transcript

  1. multiplication by a constant is sublinear

  2. outline • Introduction • The Topic • Theory • The Double Base Number System • Algorithms for SCM • DBNS Algorithms • Conclusions • Comparisons • Future Work • Question Period

  3. topic • The Single Constant Multiplication Problem (SCM) • Multiply an (unknown) integer x by a constant integer c using as few additions and shifts as possible. • Unknown Complexity • Minimize the cost • Previous Works • Recoding Techniques – naïve double and add method, SD method • Bernstein, Lefèvre, Boullis & Tisserand, Dempster & MacLeod

  4. improving current algorithms • Sublinearity of SCM Algorithms: • Conjectured by Lefevre in 2003 • Sublinearity: shown by R.G.E Pinch in 1996

  5. theory

  6. redundancy & sparseness • Very Redundant: • 10 has exactly 5 different unsigned DBNRs • 100 has exactly 402 different unsigned DBNRs • 1000 has exactly 1,295,579 different unsigned DBNRs

  7. theory

  8. a DBNS approach

  9. DBNS blocking

  10. numerical data

  11. visual: constant size blocking

  12. DBNS SCM blocking algorithm • Known worst case cost of implementation • Highly configurable • LUT or Greedy • Parameter values • Larger LUT = Lower run time cost

  13. non-trivial block sizes • First alternative: • Left to Right method: • Skip leading 0s, trailing 0s, and partition accordingly • Visual Example: LUT size = 4

  14. non-trivial block sizes • Second alternative: • Right To Left method: • Look for barriers of 0s (i.e. 00 is a barrier size of m = 2) • Visual Example: LUT size = 4, m = 2 (00) • Best results when m = 3 or 4

  15. blocking results

  16. conclusion • SCM is an interesting and open problem • DBNS for SCM: • Blocking: • Provably sublinear • Simple • Low bit complexity • Known worst case complexity • Extendable to any bit size (with appropriate blocking) • Ideal Parameters have been identified (for 32 and 64 bit constants)

  17. future work • Comparisons with competing methods • Build in hardware • Implement in a compiler • Better comparisons (speed vs area) • MCM problem • Other Blocking Algorithms
