Abstract:

The report considers the potentials of residue coding or congruence checking to check for errors in arithmetic type operations in a computer. The primary motivation of the study was analysis of cost and complexity of circuitry required to realize error checking by means of residue coding as an alternative to duplication of a computers arithmetic unit.
