The NPIC6C596A is an 8-bit serial-in/serial or parallel-out shift register with a storage register and open-drain outputs. Both the shift and storage register have separate clocks. The device features ...
Signal processing and communications algorithms frequently make use of dynamic bit rotates or shifts. Utilizing merged trees improves performance and reduces routing congestion using fewer resources.
I'm dealing with some performance critical code-- a function which is called > 10^10 times in a typical execution. I've noticed that author used a lot of bit shifting instructions (foo >> 5) * (bar >> ...
