ABSTRACT
This chapter extends the word-level technique presented in Chapter 4. In this case, the word-level arithmetic representations are linear. There are several reasons to consider linear models of circuits:
Linear models are simply embedded in the spatial structures. Linear models, being the boundary case of more general models, have a
number of specific features that can be useful in logic design. Design of hypercube structures is very flexible. One of the major purposes of this chapter is to introduce the methods of linearization of word-level models (arithmetic, sum-of-products, and ReedMuller) and the former’s mapping into spatial dimensions.
