TITLE: WEB-BASED SIMULATORS FOR COMPUTER ARITHMETIC

Several web sites have simulators for computer arithmetic.  These
are  particularly useful for students to understand the specifics
of various implementations.

Prof. Koren of the Univ. of Massachusetts created a simulator  in
conjunction  with  his  textbook  entitled  "Computer  Arithmetic
Algorithms".   Functions  include:    multiplication,   division,
square root and addition.  For additional details, access: UMASS

A  comprehensive  library  of   arithmetic   units   written   in
synthesizable VHDL code has been developed by Prof. Zimmermann of
ETH Zurich.  The library contains components  for  a  variety  of
arithmetic  operations  including  parallel-prefix  adders.   For
additional details, access: ETHZ

The detailed operations of a variety of adders, multipliers, etc.
are  given  (in  French  only) in a set of exercises developed by
Prof. Guyot of TIMA.  For additional details, access: TIMA
