Abstract

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for squaring an operand include identifying a fixed-point value with a fixed word size and a substring size for substrings of the fixed-point value, wherein the fixed-point value comprises a binary bit string. A square of the fixed-point value can be determined using the fixed point value, the substring size, and least significant bits of the fixed-point value equal to the substring size.
