    Booth's Algorithm

    The Booth multiplication algorithm is an efficient method to multiply two signed binary numbers represented in 2's complement notation. It reduces the number of operations needed by relying on blocks of consecutive 1's in the multiplier. The algorithm searches for runs of 1's in the multiplier and multiplies the multiplicand by a power of two and adds or subtracts depending on the run. The steps involve initializing the accumulator to 0, and then for each bit in the multiplier, either adding, subtracting, or ignoring the multiplicand and shifting the accumulator and multiplier.

    Booth Multiplication Algorithm

    Booth Algorithm
    •An efficient way to multiply two signed binary numbers
    expressed in 2's complement notation :

    •Reduces the number of operations by relying on blocks of


    consecutive 1's

    •Example:
    •Y  00111110 = Y  (25+24+23+22+21).
    •Y  00111110 =Y × (01000000-00000010) = Y  (26-21).
    One addition and one subtraction
     Another Eg:

     Search for a run of ‘1’ bits in the multiplier


     E.g. ‘0110’ has a run of 2 ‘1’ bits in the middle
     Multiplying by ‘0110’ (6 in decimal) is equivalent to multiplying
    by 8 and subtracting twice, since 6 x m = (8 – 2) x m = 8m –
    2m, (2k+1-2n) where k =2 and n =1
    Description and Hardware for Booth
    Multiplication
     QR multiplier
     Qn least significant bit of QR
     Qn+1 previous least significant bit of QR
     BR multiplicand
     AC =0
     SC number of bits in multiplier

    Algorithm
    Do SC times
    QnQn+1 = 10
    AC ← AC + BR + 1
    QnQn+1 = 01
    AC ← AC + BR
    Arithmetic shift right AC& QR
    SC ← SC – 1
     For our example, and multiply (-9) x (-13)

     The numerically larger operand (13) would require


    4 bits to represent in binary (1101). So we must
    use AT LEAST 5 bits to represent the operands, to
    allow for the sign bit.
