This Design Idea presents a method for fast integer multiplying and multiplying by fractions. What can you do when you lack access to a hardware multiplier or MAC (multiply/accumulate) function and ...

I was wondering if there was a way to "catch" the bits that were discarded after doing a left or right shift on (specifically) an 8-bit char.<BR><BR>And after "catching" those bits, wrapping them ...

Signal processing and communications algorithms frequently make use of dynamic bit rotates or shifts. Utilizing merged trees improves performance and reduces routing congestion using fewer resources.

Say I have an char (8 bits):<BR><BR>11010101<BR><BR>...that I am using to store four two-bit values.<BR><BR>Is it acceptable practice to shift unwanted bits off the end of the char when I want to ...
