Abstract
A high-power-efficiency multiplier combines a standard floating-point multiplier with a power-of-two multiplier that performs multiplications by shifting operations without the need for floating-point multiplication circuitry. By selectively steering some operands to this power-of-two multiplier, substantial power savings may be realized. In one embodiment, multiplicands may be modified to work with the power-of-two multiplier introducing low errors that may be accommodated in pixel calculations.
