Residue Number Systems

More about the book

The book delves into the advancements in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) using Residue Number Systems (RNS), highlighting its evolution since its popularization by Szabo and Tanaka in 1967. It discusses the resurgence of interest in RNS, particularly in VLSI design, and the advantages of using smaller word-length processors for faster operations compared to conventional DSPs. However, it also addresses significant challenges, such as overflow detection, sign detection, and the complexity of conversions between RNS and binary systems, which can hinder practical implementation.
