Contributions of Graham Jullien and William Miller to Residue Number System Arithmetic Technology

Abstract

Dr. W. K. Jenkins’ association with Dr. Graham Jullien and Dr. William Miller began in 1978 when they were working to develop Residue Number System (RNS) arithmetic techniques for digital signal processing. They began working on certain projects, one of which was the IEEE Press Book that they co-edited with two other colleagues in 1986. Dr. Jullien was a pioneer in the theory and development of Residue Number System (RNS) arithmetic for the emerging area of digital signal processing in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His interest in VLSI for RNS arithmetic steered him in the general direction of VLSI circuit design for special purpose digital signal processors.
