Abstract :
This letter discusses an organization of an approach to form the inner product of a pair of data vectors. The criterion is the minimization of the number of adders, the independent variable is the number of bits to be formed in the product. The cost ratio of addition-to-storage provided the motivation for this investigation. The most efficient mechanization appears to be the combining of the vectors in sets of 3 or 4 elements at a time, then summing the results.
