Abstract
Hardware logic arranged to normalise (or renormalise) an n-bit input number is described in which at least a proportion of a left shifting operation is performed in parallel with a leading zero count operation. In various embodiments the left shifting and the leading zero count are performed independently. In various other embodiments, a subset of the bits output by a leading zero counter are input to a left shifter and the output from the left shifter is input to a renormalisation block which completes the remainder of the left shifting operation independently of any further input from the leading zero counter.
