Abstract:

Due to carry propagation, efficiency of addition for data with large number of bits has not been significantly improved in the existing computers. Optical approaches have advantages in parallel and carry free addition with a large number of data bits. Based on the computing principle of M+B and the three ternary transforms of C, P and R as proposed in previous works, this paper studies related data editing techniques in which M is an MSD number, B is binary number. A data editing technique for this type of addition is proposed. Simulation is carried out on the three ternary transforms C, P and R for addition, data truncation and data concatenation. The results validate correctness of the proposed data editing technique.
