متن کاملOverflow Detection in Residue Number System, Moduli Set {2n-1,2n,2n+1}
Residue Number System (RNS) is a non-weighted number system for integer number arithmetic, which is based on the residues of a number to a certain set of numbers called module set. The main characteristics and advantage of residue number system is reducing carry propagation in calculations. The elimination of carry propagation leads to the possibility of maximizing parallel processing and reduc...
متن کاملComplex-Arithmetic Problem Solving: Differences among Belgian, Canadian, and Chinese participants
The complex-arithmetic performance of three different populations was tested: Flemish-speaking Belgians; Englishspeaking Canadians; and Chinese-speaking Chinese participants currently living in Canada.
