  • Application of a Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) LNS Divider to Mobile 3D Graphics Processors

    Abstract

    The accelerated evolution of mobile devices and their increasing dependence on real-time 3D graphics have created stringent demands for high-performance low-power hardware architectures. As mobile graphics processors move toward more complex shading rendering and computational workloads the design of arithmetic units becomes a critical factor influencing overall performance and battery efficiency. One promising solution lies in the integration of Logarithmic Number System (LNS) based arithmetic particularly the LNS Divider into Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) architectures for mobile graphics processors. LNS arithmetic transforms multiplication division and power operations into simpler additions and subtractions enabling faster computation with reduced hardware complexity. This paper investigates the architectural design computational behavior and performance benefits of integrating a VLSI-based LNS Divider into mobile 3D graphics processors. This research evaluates LNS efficiency
