Hello netland: This is my first posting so please bear with me. I am looking for a book or books on computer math algorithms and the architectures to implement them. Specifically, I need algorithms and techniques for floating point operations such as multiply, divide, add, subtract, square root, and others such as transcendental functions, etc. The architectures should include Booth's recode, Wallace tree, etc. I need all pertinent information about the book(s) such as name, author, publisher, and date published. Also, I need to know where I can get them. Please reply by any mean you see fit. You can even reach me at the address or phone number listed below. Thanks in advance.
