Abstract:
An apparatus for mathematical manipulation is described allowing the selective combination of shifters to shift binary numbers of various widths. Selective combination allows on-the-fly adjustment of shifters from independent to coordinated shifting operations. Selective combination allows adjustable hardware-based shifting while saving space and resources. Multiple eight-bit shifters can be configured for a variety of operand widths, such as a 32-bit width, a 24-bit width, a 16-bit width, or an eight-bit width. Multiplexers route the appropriate input data to the appropriate shifters. Bidirectional shifting is configured through a selector tree, including both shift left and shift right operations. Op codes configure the shifters for the desired type of shift and a shifted result is generated.

Claim (Index 21):
A computer implemented method for implementation of a logical calculation apparatus comprising:\n implementing a first shifter circuit coupled to a first port included in logic on a semiconductor chip, wherein the first port has a first width, and wherein the first shifter circuit is directional; implementing a second shifter circuit coupled to a second port included in the logic on a semiconductor chip, wherein the second shifter circuit is directional, wherein:\n the second port has a second width; \n the second shifter circuit is configured to be selectively coupled to the first shifter circuit; \n the first port and the second port are configured to be usable in combination to handle input of a binary number of a third width wherein the third width is less than or equal to a sum of the first width and the second width; \n the first shifter circuit in combination with the second shifter circuit are configured to be usable to shift the binary number of the third width; and \n the first shifter circuit is configured to shift a binary number of the first width and the second shifter circuit is configured to shift a binary number of the second width wherein the binary number of the first width and the binary number of the second width are different widths.
