In this paper, we propose four 4:2 compressors, which have the flexibility of switching between the exact and approximate operating modes. In the approximate mode, these dual-quality compressors provide higher speeds and lower power consumptions at the cost of lower...

Decimal X×Y multiplication is a complex operation, where intermediate partial products (IPPs) are commonly selected from a set of precomputed radix-10Xmultiples. Some works require only[0,5]×X via recoding digits of Y to one-hot representation of signed digits...

Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are well-established as fine-grained reconfigurable computing platforms. However, FPGAs demonstrate poor scalability in advanced technology nodes due to the large negative impact of the elaborate programmable interconnects (PIs)....
