Integer division is key for various applications and often represents the performance bottleneck due to its inherent mathematical properties that limit its parallelization. This work proposes four 32bit data-dependent-latency division schemes, derived from the classic non-performing restoring division algorithm. The proposed technique exploits the relationship between the number of leading zeros in the divisor and in the partial remainder to dynamically detect and skip those iterations that result in a simple left shift. While a similar principle has been exploited in previous works, the proposed approach outperforms existing variable latency divider schemes in average latency and power consumption. We detail the algorithm and its implementation in four variants, offering versatility for the specific application requirements. For each variant, we report the average latency evaluated with different benchmarks, and then we analyze the synthesis results for both FPGA and ASIC deployment, reporting clock speed, average execution time, hardware resources, and energy consumption, compared with existing fixed and variable latency dividers.

Hyperdimensional Computing (HDC) is a bioinspired learning paradigm, that models neural pattern activities using high-dimensional distributed representations. HDC leverages parallel and simple vector arithmetic operations to combine and compare different concepts, enabling cognitive and reasoning tasks. The computational efficiency and parallelism of this approach make it particularly suited for hardware implementations, especially as a lightweight, energy-efficient solution for performing learning tasks on resource-constrained edge devices. The HDC pipeline, including encoding, training, and comparison stages, has been extensively explored with various approaches in the literature. However, while these techniques are mainly oriented to improve the model accuracy, their influence on hardware parameters remains largely unexplored. This work presents AeneasHDC, an automatic and open-source platform for the streamlined deployment of HDC models in both software and hardware for classification, regression and clustering tasks. AeneasHDC supports an extensive range of techniques commonly adopted in literature, automates the design of flexible hardware accelerators for HDC, and empowers users to easily assess the impact of different design choices on model accuracy, memory usage, execution time, power consumption, and area requirements.
