  • Method and apparatus for performing computations using residue arithmetic
    Patent number: 7523151
    Abstract: The subject invention pertains to a method and apparatus for performing computations using residue arithmetic. The subject method and apparatus can utilize logic gates for performing calculations such as multiplication by a constant, computing a number theoretic logarithm of a residue for a given base ?i and modulus pi, and computing the product of two residues, modulo pi. The use of logic gates can offer advantages when compared with the use of ROMs for table look-up functions in integrated Residue Number System digital signal processor implementations.
