Abstract
Provided is a method for processing pipelined data using a variable-latency speculating booth multiplier (VLSBM), including a first operation and a second operation. The first operation has the steps of partitioning partial products into a least significant part (LSP) and a most significant part (MSP), estimating a carry of the LSP, computing the MSP based on the estimated carry, computing the LSP independently to obtain a true carry and detecting a computation error by comparing the estimated carry with the true carry. Also, the second operation has the step of correcting the computation error based on the difference between the estimated carry and the true carry. Further, a VLSBM for processing pipelined data is also provided.
