Leading-one detector

Last updated

A leading-one detector (LOD) is an electronic circuit commonly found in central processing units and especially their arithmetic logic units (ALUs). It is used to detect whether the leading bit in a computer word is 1 or 0, [1] especially for floating point operations [2] and binary logarithms. [3]
