What is Fast Parallel Integer Adder in Binary Representation about?

An integer adder for integers in the binary representation is one of the basic operations of any digital processor. For adding two integers of N bits each, the serial adder takes as many clock ticks. For achieving higher speeds, parallel circuits are discussed in the literature, and these circuits usually operate in two levels. At the lower level, integers represented by blocks of smaller number of bits are added, and in a cascade of stages in the next level, the carries produced in previous addition operations are summed to the augends. In this paper, we describe a fast method and an improvement of it. The first attempt resembles the operation method of the merge sort algorithm, from which some important properties of carries produced in each stage are analysed and assimilated, resulting in a parallel adder that runs in time comparable to the existing methods. After that, the crucial insights are brought to fruition in an improved design, which takes 2 clock ticks to perform the addition operation requiring only O(square(N)) space. The number of bits N is chosen usually to be a positive integer power of 2. The speedup is achieved by special purpose circuits for increment operation
