Abstract
A system, method, and apparatus for the constant time, branchless conversion of decimal integers of varying size in ASCII format to a decimal integer in binary decimal format in a vector processor utilizing simultaneous conversion of the string to a binary format, followed by simultaneous multiplications of the binary result by appropriate powers of ten and a fixed number of steps of vector addition, followed by a final step of a scalar multiplication of a sign value.
