摘要
A double-precision multiplier for use in the floating point pipeline of a processor has an array multiplier and a carry-save partial-product accumulator. Double precision multiplication is accomplished by generating a plurality of partial products and summing these in the carry-save partial-product accumulator. The partial-product accumulator has a carry-save adder, a sum register, a carry-out counter and an extender. The carry-out counter receives a carry outputs of the carry-save adder and array multiplier, and the extender is coupled to extend the sum register dependent upon the contents of the carry-out counter. The extension occurs during addition of the most significant partial product to the sum of less significant partial products.
