A multiplier for performing multiple types of multiplication including integer, floating point, vector, and polynomial multiplication. The multiplier includes a modified booth encoder within the multiplier and unified circuitry to perform the various types of multiplication. A carry save adder tree is modified to route sum outputs to one part of the tree and to route carry outputs to another part of the tree. The carry save adder tree is also organized into multiple carry save adder trees to perform vector multiplication.
