Abstract

FPGA implementation of artificial neural networks calls for multipliers of various word length. In this paper, a new algorithm for generating variable word length multipliers for FPGA implementation is presented. The multipliers generated are based on a Booth Encoded optimized Wallace tree architecture. Several features of FPGA architecture are used to generate fast and efficient multipliers. These multipliers are shown to be 20% faster than existing FPGA multiplier implementations.
