Digital Computer Arithmetic belongs to Computer Architecture, however, it is also an aspect of logic design. The objective of Computer Arithmetic is to develop appropriate algorithms that are utilizing available hardware in the most efficient way. Ultimately, speed, power and chip area are the most often used measures, making a strong link between the algorithms and technology of implementation. Introduction Computer Arithmetic
