SNAP - the Stanford subnanosecond arithmetic processor - is an interdisciplinary effort to develop theory, tools, and technology for realizing an arithmetic processor with execution rates under 1 ns. Specific improvements in clocking methods, floating-point addition algorithms, floating-point multiplication algorithms, division and higher-level function algorithms, design tools, and packaging technology were studied. These improvements have been demonstrated in the implementation of several VLSI designs.
