Summary :

A novel and efficient multiplication algorithm, called "duo-multiplication", is proposed. Two multiplications and the sum of their results are calculated directly, with the same number of operation steps as is required for the conventional single multiplication. The algorithm is derived from adjusting non-zero partial product generation timing in order to interleave one multiplication execution into the other multiplication execution. This timing adjustment is realized by utilizing the fact that any two algebraic numbers in two's complement representation can be transformed into a binary signed digit representation pair, in which the non-zero digits of one number do not overlap with those of the other number, without increasing total word length. As duomultiplication operation is fundamental on digital signal processing, the algorithm adoption doubles signal processing capability of a microprocessor.
