In this paper we investigate the design of macro-cell generators of division and square root floating-point operators. The number representation used in our operators is the IEEE-754-1985 standard for binary floating-point numbers. The design and implementation of the generators rely on a powerful multiview layout synthesis tool called GenOptim. This CAD tool is able to output a set of differen...

This paper presents generators based on decimated sequences of Generalized Feedback Shift Register (GFSR) generators. The equivalence relation between decimated GFSR generators and Tausworthe generators are presented and a k-distributed initialization scheme is derived. We present decimated GFSR generators that are maximally equidistributed. Timing results of these generators are presented.

Two types of linear congruent.ial random number generator are considered: the conventional one using integer arithmetic and another using polynomial arithmetic over finite fields. We show t.hat most of the long-period random number generators currently used or recently proposed, which include multiple re.:ursive generators, shift register generators, add-with-carry and subtract-with-borrow gene...
