 Introduction

 Vedic Mathematics is introduced by Jagadguru Swami Sri

Bharati Krishna Tirthaji Maharaja (1884-1960).
 Vedic means derived from Vedas or another definition by
Sri Sankaracharya is “the fountain head and illimitable store
house of all knowledge”.
 Based on Sixteen Simple Mathematical formulae from the
Vedas accumulated in a book ‘Vedic Mathematics’ by
Swamiji
 Prof. Kenneth Williams from U.K and many other
researchers have done significant study on Vedic Maths.
 Many books on Vedic Maths and its application are written
by Prof. Kenneth Williams and other researchers.

Square and Cube Architecture Using
Vedic Mathematics
 Duplex for Binary Number

• In order to calculate the square of a number “Duplex” D

property of binary numbers has been taken advantage
of. In the Duplex, we take twice the product of the
outermost pair, and then add twice the product of the
next outermost pair, and so on till no pairs are left.
When there are odd number of bits in the original
sequence, there is one bit left by itself in the middle, and
this enters as such.

• Thus,
• For a 1 bit number, D is the same number i.e D(X0)=X0.
• For a 2 bit number D is twice their product i.e D(X1X0)=2 * X1 *
X0.
• For a 3 bit number D is twice the product of the outer pair + the e
middle bit i.e D(X2X1X0)=2 * X2 * X0+X1.
• For a 4 bit number D is twice the product of the outer pair + twice the
product of the inner pair i.e D(X3X2X1X0)
• =2 * X3 * X0+2 * X2 * X1
• The pairing of the bits 4 at a time is done for number to be squared.
• Thus D (1)= 1;
• D(11)=2 * 1 * 1;
• D( 101)=2 * 1 * 1+0;
• D(1011)=2 * 1 * 1+2 * 1 * 0;

 Proposed Square

The proposed square architecture is an improvement

over partition multipliers in which the NXN bit
multiplication can be performed by decomposing the
multiplicand and multiplier bits into M partitions where
M=N/K ( here N is the width of multiplicand and
multiplier(divisible by 4 ) and K is a multiple of 4 such
as 4, 8 , 12 ,16……….. 4* n). The partition multipliers
are the fastest multipliers implemented in the commercial
processors and are much faster than conventional
multipliers.

Performance Improvement
 Comparison with [1,2]

 Cube
Anurupya Sutra of Vedic Mathematics which states “If you start with the
cube of the first digit and take the next three numbers(in the top row) in
a Geometrical Proportion (in the ratio of the original digits themselves)
you will find that the 4th figure ( on the right end) is just the cube of the
second digit”.

a3 + 2
ab
+ + ab 2 b 3
(a + b)3 =
2a2b + 2ab2
a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3
 This sutra has been utilized in this work to find the cube of a number.
The number M of N bits having its cube to be calculated is divided in
two partitions of N/2 bits, say a and b, and then the Anurupya Sutra is
applied to find the cube of the number.

2. Call Procedure ADJUST(Z1,C1,X1,Y1,Y0). Next Dividend K= ( 7 * 10 + 0)-(7 * 4)=42
Now take the next dividend as 3. Do K/ 7 and get 6 as quotient and 0 as
K=( C1 * 10+X1)-(Y1 * Z1). remainder.
3. Do K/Y0(divide) to get Z0 as quotient and C0 as 4. Call ADJUST(6,0,0,7,7).
remainder. => modified quotient 5 and remainder 7
4. Call procedure ADJUST (Z0,C0,X0,Y1,Y0). Next dividend K= (7 * 10+0)-(7 * 4)=42
Now Our required remainder, 5. Do K/7 and get 6 as quotient and 0 as remainder
RD=(C0 * 10+X0)-(Y1 * Z1). 6. Call ADJUST (6,0,1,7,7)
Hence the Quotient= Qt=Z1Z0 => modified quotient= 4 and remainder 7
Remainder=RD Remainder RD=(7 * 10+1)-(7 * 4)=43
Procedure ADJUST (H, I, E, A, B) Therefore Quotient =454 and Remainder=43
