I'm dealing with some performance critical code-- a function which is called > 10^10 times in a typical execution. I've noticed that author used a lot of bit shifting instructions (foo >> 5) * (bar >> ...

Signal processing and communications algorithms frequently make use of dynamic bit rotates or shifts. Utilizing merged trees improves performance and reduces routing congestion using fewer resources.

The NPIC6C596A is an 8-bit serial-in/serial or parallel-out shift register with a storage register and open-drain outputs. Both the shift and storage register have separate clocks. The device features ...
