Unary Positional System: Flexible Balance of Hardware Area and Performance
DescriptionModern computer architectures face challenges in balancing hardware area and performance. Binary computing, known for its compactness, requires hardware area that scales quadratically with precision, while unary computing, despite its simplicity, suffers from exponentially increasing computation time. This paper introduces the Unary Positional System, a paradigm that combines spatial and temporal characteristics to address this trade-off. A key component, CMem, is developed for UPS-based arithmetic hardware and applied to GEMM. Experimental results show that UPS bridges the gap between binary and unary computing, with its flexibility offering potential for further optimization.
