Abstract
A fast masked summing comparator apparatus includes a comparator unit configured to compare a masked first number to a masked sum of a second number and a third number to determine whether the masked sum is equivalent to the masked first number without performing a summation portion of an addition operation between the second number and the third number. The comparator unit may concurrently mask both the sum and the first number using the same mask value.
