Abstract

A wide variety of DFT and convolution algorithms have been designed to optimize computations with respect to the number of arithmetic operations, especially multiplications. Blahut (1985) [1] offers an excellent survey of many algorithms designed using this methodology. Today, with the rapid advance in VLSI technology and the availability of high speed and inexpensive floating-point processors, the time required to carry out a fixed-point addressing operation, or a floating-point addition can effectively be the same as the floating-point multiplication. Some advanced architectures have these functional units working in parallel with multiple operations realized in one or a few cycles at the same time. Traditional algorithm design of trading multiplications for additions, therefore, is not only ineffective but can result in a significant decrease in performance!
