Computing unit, method and computer program for multiplying at least two multiplicands

摘要

The invention relates to a computing unit and a method (10) for multiplying at least two multiplicands (c, d). The multiplicands (c, d) are in an exponential representation, i.e. The multiplicands (c, d) are each assigned an exponent and a base. The arithmetic unit is set up to carry out a multiplication of the multiplicands (c, d) and comprises at least one bit shift unit, the bit shift unit shifting a binary number by a predeterminable number of places, in particular to the left, an arithmetic unit which is an addition of two Inputs and a subtraction of two inputs and a memory. The invention further relates to a computer program which is set up to carry out the method (10) and a machine-readable memory element on which the computer program is stored.
