P. A. Agbedemnab, E.k. Bankas . A Novel RNS Overflow Detection and Correction Algorithm for the Moduli Set {2^n-1,2^n,2^n+1}. International Journal of Computer Applications. 110, 16 ( January 2015), 30-34. DOI=10.5120/19403-0925
In this paper, an efficient scheme for detecting and correcting overflow during addition in Residue Number System (RNS) is presented. The approach which is novel to the moduli set {2^n-1,2^n,2^n+1} is based on the Chinese Remainder Theorem and demonstrates theoretically to be a very fast scheme compared to similar state of the art schemes. The proposed method is able to detect overflow in RNS addition without full reverse conversion; Additionally, the scheme also prevents the representation of wrong numbers as a result of overflow, thus the scheme gives the accurate result without errors whether overflow occurs or not. A comparison, which proves the efficiency of the proposed scheme, in terms of delay and area requirements is also presented.
