Overlap-free Karatsuba-Ofman Polynomial Multiplication Algorithms

Haining Fan and Jiaguang Sun and Ming Gu and Kwok-Yan Lam

Abstract

We describe how a simple way to split input operands allows for fast VLSI implementations of subquadratic $GF(2)[x]$ Karatsuba-Ofman multipliers. The theoretical XOR gate delay of the resulting multipliers is reduced significantly. For example, it is reduced by about 33\% and 25\% for $n=2^{t}$ and $n=3^{t}$ $(t>1)$, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this parameter has never been improved since the original Karatsuba-Ofman algorithm was first used to design $GF(2^n)$ multipliers in 1990.

Note: I received an email from Dr. Ekatherina Karatsuba, A. Karatsuba' daughter, and she told me that the Karatsuba algorithm was found by her father himself. So I added the following information on the 1st page. I am sorry that I have made the following mistake: The first subquadratic integer multiplication algorithm was invented by A.A. Karatsuba himself, not Karatsuba and Ofman. [1]
