Booth algorithm gives a procedure for multiplying binary integers in signed 2’s complement representation in efficient way, i.e., less number of additions/subtractions required. It operates on the fact that strings of 0’s in the multiplier require no addition but just shifting and a string of 1’s in the multiplier from bit weight 2^k to weight 2^m can be treated as 2^(k+1 ) to 2^m.
Booth's algorithm can be implemented by repeatedly adding *with ordinary unsigned binary addition* one of two predetermined values A and S to a product P, then performing a rightward arithmetic shift on P. Let m and r be the multiplicand and multiplier, respectively; and let x and y represent the number of bits in m and r..
1. Determine the values of A and S, and the initial value of P. All of these numbers should have a length equal to (x + y + 1).
A: Fill the most significant(leftmost)bits with the value of m.Fill the remaining (y + 1) bits with zeros. S: Fill the most significant bits with the value of (−m) in two's complement notation.Fill the remaining (y + 1) bits with zeros. P: Fill the most significant x bits with zeros. To the right of this, append the value of r. Fill the least significant(rightmost)bit with a zero.
2. Determine the two least significant (rightmost) bits of P.
If they are 01, find the value of P + A. Ignore any overflow. If they are 10, find the value of P + S. Ignore any overflow. If they are 00, do nothing. Use P directly in the next step. If they are 11, do nothing. Use P directly in the next step.
3. Arithmetically shift the value obtained in the 2nd step by a single place to the right. Let P now equal this new value.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until they have been done y times.
5. Drop the least significant (rightmost) bit from P. This is the product of m and r.
