Booth's Multiplication

Booth's Multiplication Algorithm provides an efficient method for multiplying binary integers in signed 2's complement representation, requiring fewer additions and subtractions. The algorithm involves examining multiplier bits and shifting the partial product based on specific rules for addition and subtraction. An example demonstrates the computation of -3 times -7, resulting in a final value of 21 stored in the A and Q registers.

 Introduction

 Rules

 Example

 Conclusion
 Booth’s algorithm gives a procedure for multiplying binary
integers in signed 2’s complement representation in efficient
way.
 Less number of additions/subtractions required.
 Requires examination of the multiplier bits and shifting of the
partial product.
 Prior to the shifting, the multiplicand may be added to the partial
product, subtracted from the partial product, or left unchanged
according to the following rules:
 The multiplicand is subtracted from the partial product upon
encountering the first least significant 1 in a string of 1’s in the
multiplier
 The multiplicand is added to the partial product upon encountering the
first 0 (provided that there was a previous ‘1’) in a string of 0’s in the
multiplier.
 The partial product does not change when the multiplier bit is identical
to the previous multiplier bit.
 Compute −3× −7 using the Booth’s
algorithm.
 The 2’s complement representations for them
are 1101 and 1001, respectively.
 Initially,
 A = 0000
 Q = 1001
 M = 1101
 M’ = 0010
 Q−1=0.
 The final result will be 21, which will be stored in A and Q.
OPERATION A Q Q-1 Count
0000 1001 0 4

A + M’ + 1 0011 1001 0

ASHR 0001 1100 1 3

A+M 1110 1100 1

ASHR 1111 0110 0 2

ASHR 1111 1011 0 1

A + M’ + 1 0010 1011 1

ASHR 0001 0101 1 0
