Can the speed of an integer multiplier be made as fast as an integer adder? If possible, how many gates are required to implement the integer multiplier? If it is not possible, what is the smallest ratio of their speed? For simplicity, let's consider an 8 bits integer multiplier. Thanks very much in advance. -Liangchien E-mail buddism@ei.ecn.purdue.edu
