Arithmetic Building Blocks

This first part of the ECE_5IC01_TP course focuses on the design of dedicated hardware for computation-intensive applications. It introduces fundamental arithmetic building blocks that form the basis of many hardware computing architectures, including digital signal processing, numerical computation, and graph-based workloads such as machine learning inference.

The course explores the design and implementation of basic arithmetic operators, including two-operand adders, multi-operand adders, multipliers, dividers, and related operators. The objective is to study different implementation strategies and evaluate their impact on hardware, particularly in terms of area, speed and latency.
