Abstract
Binary multiplication can be speeded up by taking two or more bits of the multiplier at a time. This note describes an exact method, based on the use of a discrete-time, finite-state system model, for calculating the gain in multiplication speed resulting from such a scheme. It is shown that the gain in speed is less than what had previously been obtained using an approximation formula.Keywords
