The residue number system (RNS) is a non-positional number system that allows one to perform addition and multiplication operations fast and in parallel. However, because the RNS is a non-positional number system, magnitude comparison of numbers in RNS form is impossible, so a division operation and an operation of reverse conversion into a positional form containing magnitude comparison operations are impossible too. Therefore, RNS has disadvantages in that some operations in RNS, such as reverse conversion into positional form, magnitude comparison, and division of numbers are problematic. One of the approaches to solve this problem is using the diagonal function (DF). In this paper, we propose a method of RNS construction with a convenient form of DF, which leads to the calculations modulo 2 n , 2 n − 1 or 2 n + 1 and allows us to design efficient hardware implementations. We constructed a hardware simulation of magnitude comparison and reverse conversion into a positional form using RNS with different moduli sets constructed by our proposed method, and used different approaches to perform magnitude comparison and reverse conversion: DF, Chinese remainder theorem (CRT) and CRT with fractional values (CRTf). Hardware modeling was performed on Xilinx Artix 7 xc7a200tfbg484-2 in Vivado 2016.3 and the strategy of synthesis was highly area optimized. The hardware simulation of magnitude comparison shows that, for three moduli, the proposed method allows us to reduce hardware resources by 5.98-49.72% in comparison with known methods. For the four moduli, the proposed method reduces delay by 4.92-21.95% and hardware costs by twice as much by comparison to known methods. A comparison of simulation results from the proposed moduli sets and balanced moduli sets shows that the use of these proposed moduli sets allows up to twice the reduction in circuit delay, although, in several cases, it requires more hardware resources than balanced moduli sets. such as field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). All these attractive features increase interest to RNS in the areas where large amounts of computation are needed. The applications of RNS are digital signal processing [2][3][4], cryptography [5][6][7], digital image processing [8], cloud computing [9], Internet of Things [10] and others. In [11], the authors propose a technique to estimate real-valued numbers by means of the Chinese remainder theorem (CRT), employing for this goal a Kroenecker based M-Estimation, to improve robustness. A new method based on the Chinese remainder theorem (CRT) is proposed for absolute position computation in [12]. This has advantages in terms of hardware and flexibility because it does not use memory. The authors of [13] offer to use RNS to improve the performance of the convolutional neural network developed for pattern recognition tasks. Reference [14] describes the method of construction for finite impulse response filers using RNS.However, the limitations of RNS include some operations such a...

The paper presents algorithms for the generation of Residue Number System (RNS) triples with = 2 − 1 and quadruples with = 2 for some k. Triples and quadruples allow us to design efficient hardware implementations of non-modular operations in RNS such as division, sign detection, comparison of numbers, reverse conversion with using of a diagonal function from requiring division with the remainder by the diagonal module SQ. Division with a remainder in the general case is the most complex arithmetic operation in computer technology. However, the consideration of special cases can significantly simplify this operation and increase the efficiency of hardware implementation. We show that there are 5573 good RNS triples (2301 even and 2372 odd) with elements less than 10 000, as the values of SQ vary from 2 5 − 1 to 2 27 − 1. In contrast, RNS quadruples with = 2 seem to be quite rare. Restricting our search to sums of the elements in a quadruple less than 4000 we find that exactly 31 such quadruples exist. Their values of SQ vary between 2 20 and 2 30 with always even exponent. We suggest the measure of RNS balance and find perfectly balanced RNS among triples according to this measure. We demonstrate the advantages of more balanced quadruples by means of hardware implementation.
