A unified computation unit for iterative multiplication and division may include an architecture having a unified integer iterative multiplication and division circuit. A method may include a device receiving a dividend and a divisor for a division operation, separating the dividend into two parts based on the determining, and evaluating whether an overflow situation exists based on the two parts. A single-cycle multiplication unit may include a multi-operand addition schema for partial products compression that implements tree-based addition methods for single-cycle multiplication operations.

Unified computation systems and methods for iterative multiplication and division, efficient overflow detection systems and methods for integer division, and tree-based addition systems and methods for single-cycle multiplication

In accordance with some embodiments of the present invention, a branch prediction unit for an embedded controller may be placed in association with the instruction fetch unit instead of the decode stage. In addition, the branch prediction unit may include no branch predictor. Also, the return address stack may be associated with the instruction decode stage and is structurally separate from the branch prediction unit. In some cases, this arrangement reduces the area of the branch prediction unit, as well as power consumption.

Embedded branch prediction unit

Embodiments of a decoder and method of decoding blocks of soft bits in a wireless receiver are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments, a memory is initialized with encoded input data and updated with sums of extrinsic reliabilities. Decoded output data is provided from the memory after a predetermined number of iterations.
