Abstract
An arithmetic logic unit is disclosed that includes a first logical circuit that generates a first partial sum result from three operands in a first stage of a single clock cycle of a processor; a second circuit that generates a second partial result in the same first stage of the clock cycle of the processor; and an adder that receives the first partial result from the first logical circuit and the second partial result from the second circuit and generates a secondary result during a second stage of the single clock cycle of the processor. The arithmetic logic unit may optionally further include a backend circuit that performs additional arithmetic and logic functions in the same single clock cycle of the processor.
