is that how the alu performs multiplication? with a binary adder?

[–] Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Conceptually yes, but you can achieve better efficiency by putting multiple adders together with e.g. a Wallace tree.

There are more efficient ways to expand adders than simply chaining them as well.
