Abstract:
A conversion unit converts operands from a conventional number system that represents each binary number in the operands as one bit to redundant number system (RNS) operands that represent each binary number as a plurality of bits. An arithmetic logic unit performs an arithmetic operation on the RNS operands in a direction from a most significant bit (MSB) to a least significant bit (LSB). The arithmetic logic unit stops performing the arithmetic operation prior to performing the arithmetic operation on a target binary number indicated by a dynamic precision associated with the RNS operands. In some cases, a power supply provides power to bit slices in the arithmetic logic unit and a clock signal generator provides clock signals to the bit slices. Gate logic is configured to gate the power or the clock signals provided to a subset of the bit slices.

Claim (Index 9):
The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the conversion unit is configured to selectively convert the operands from the conventional number system to the RNS operands based on a comparison of overhead required to perform the conversion and expected power savings produced by stopping the arithmetic operation prior to performing the arithmetic operation on the target binary number indicated by the dynamic precision associated with the RNS operands.
