Title: Binary integer divider using a numerically associative memory to store and access a multiplication table
Inventor: FITZMAURICE DAVID WILLIAM
IPC: G06F7/487
Filed: 2006-12-16
Abstract: Disclosed is a binary integer divider using a numerically associative memory to store and access a multiplication table. The divider consists of plurality of memory words each having two fields, a key field and one other. The divider writes the multiplication table of the divisor into the key fields in the memory in sequence. It also has a plurality of comparators each associated with a memory word, means to compare the value stored in the key field to the dividend value and able to store the result. The divider selects two adjacent words such that the dividend lies between them or is equal to one of them and selects the lower of the two values. The divider then subtracts the selected multiple from the dividend to give the remainder. The divider can also detect when the dividend is smaller then the divisor. The divider is designed for use applications were the same divisor might be used many times such as in calculating the hash of a file.
