Abstract: Booth encoding is a method of reducing the number of summands required to produce the multiplication result. This paper compares the performance/area tradeoffs for the different Booth algorithms when trees are used as the summation network. This paper shows that the simple non-Booth algorithm is not a viable design, and that currently Booth 2 is the best design. It also points out that in the future Booth 3 may offer the best performance/area ratio.
