Excellent tutorial on integer and ordinal multiplication. This changed in subsequent designs for higher speed. I designed the floating point unit used in the 80387 and subsequently the 80486 which was unchanged except for an optimization to the 2-bit multiplication algorithm. Numbers and hardware are always fascinating! Thanks for the walk down the early days.
