This article describes an efficient way to implement the multiplication instructions for a RISCV processor. Instead of using three predefined IP blocks for signed, unsigned and mixed multiplication, this article presents a novel extension to the Baugh-Wooley multiplication algorithm which reduces area and power consumption with roughly a factor three.
