Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and apparatus to optimize each of the plurality of reduction stages in a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) circuit to produce a residue for a block of data decreases area used to perform the reduction while maintaining the same delay through the plurality of stages of the reduction logic. A hybrid mix of Karatsuba algorithm, classical multiplications and serial division in various stages in the CRC reduction circuit results in about a twenty percent reduction in area on the average with no decrease in critical path delay.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An apparatus comprising: a plurality of reduction stages, each one of the plurality of the reduction stages to compute a product of a first operand with a first size and a second operand with a second size, wherein the first size and the second size are different sizes; wherein the first size of the first operand corresponds to one of the plurality of reduction stages; wherein each reduction state uses a multiplication algorithm in view of the size…
