Modern Computer Arithmetic (2010) [pdf]
- fdej 9y agoThis is a good book. Note that it's mostly concerned with (software implementation of) arbitrary-precision arithmetic; which is just one branch of computer arithmetic.
- unwind 9y agoMods, please fix the typo in the title's last word. Thanks.
- dang 9y agoTrevor beat me to it.
- nkurz 9y agoWhich raises the question "Who is Trevor?": https://hn.algolia.com/?query=who%20is%20trevor&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?query=who%20is%20trevor&type=story Which takes us to the very old discussion page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=82048 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=82048 Which resolves to a 404 at this point without providing any useful information. Hmm. Still, it leaves the question of how many people are actively editing typos in titles, and whether we should actually be blaming Trevor any time a typo remains for more than a few minutes. (No answer actually required.)
- tptacek 9y agoPresumably he means 'tlb.
- gregfjohnson 9y agoI just went through much of this material using Knuth and various resources on the web, to do some work on elliptic curve cryptography alorithms. Man, I wish I had found this resource sooner! Glancing through the book, it looks like it does a very nice job of presenting algorithms and their proofs. I just downloaded the pdf and am going to save it as a reference.
- myf01d 9y agoIf anyone is interested, the best textbook imo on computer arithmetic is Digital Arithmetic by Miloš D. Ercegovac. It's very extensive especially for hardware designers but it's a bit outdated and no easy read at all
