COMPUTATIONALLY EFFICIENT MATHEMATICAL ENGINE

摘要

A method and system for performing many different types if algorithms utilizes a single mathematical engine (30) such that the mathematical engine is capable of utilizing the same multipliers for all of the algorithms. The mathematical engine includes a selectively controlled parallel output register (33), at least one selectively controlled memory (31), and a plurality of processing elements (40). The output register, the memory and the processing elements are selectively controlled depending upon the algorithm to be performed.
