Abstract
A system including a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit includes a multiplier array to receive a first operand and a second operand and generate a plurality of outputs, an adder array to receive the plurality of outputs and generate a partial product of the first operand and the second operand including partial sums and carry bits, which are stored in a plurality of register arrays. The second circuit generates the product of the first operand and the second operand by implementing a two-stage reduction of the partial product of the first operand and the second operand. A first stage includes rearranging the partial sums and carry bits as two multi-bit integers. A second stage includes generating a plurality of multi-bit integers based on the two multi-bit integers, and generating the product of the first operand and the second operand based on the plurality of multi-bit integers.
