252 Chapter 8 Scalar products and complete arithmetic
circuits can be given for the computation of the exact scalar product with virtually no
unoverlapped computing time needed for the execution of the arithmetic. In a pipeline,
the arithmetic can be executed in the time the processor needs to read the data into the
arithmetic unit. This means that no other method of computing a scalar product can be
faster, in particular not a conventional approximate computation of the scalar product
in double or quadruple precision floating-point arithmetic. Fixed-point accumulation
of the products is simpler than accumulation in floating-point. Many intermediate ...
