Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for performing fast integer division using commonly available arithmetic operations. The technique may be implemented in a two-stage process using a single-precision floating point reciprocal in conjunction with integer addition and multiplication. Furthermore, the technique may be fully pipelined on many conventional processors for performance that is comparable to the best available high-performance alternatives.
