Abstract

This paper describes a new multiplication algorithm, particularly suited to lightweight microprocessors when one of the operands is known in advance. The method uses backtracking to find a multiplication-friendly encoding of the operand known in advance. A 68hc05 microprocessor implementation shows that the new algorithm indeed yields a twofold speed improvement over classical multiplication for 128-byte numbers.
