In present days, speed is the main criteria. but commonly used
sequential add-shift or planar array methods take quite long time for
multiplication of binary numbers
In general, the speed of multiplication depends upon the partial
products generated.
In sequential add-shift or planar array methods, the partial products
generated are more when compared to booths algorithm.
For large operands, more number of partial products are generated in
sequential add-shift or planar array methods because of which delay
to obtain product can be substantial.
Hence this makes Booth Algorithm more effective.
let us consider an example of sequential add-shift method:

The simple principle of booth algorithm is shown in below
example:

786 x 999 which can be represented as 786 x(1000-1)
In the first product multiplication takes more time where as
second representation takes less time.
Here the principle used is converting non-zero digits of multiplier
to zeros which reduces the calculation.

Booth algorithm was invented by Andrew Donald Booth in 1950.
It is a multiplication algorithm that multiplies two signed numbers
in 2s complement notation.
It treats both positive and negative numbers uniformly.
The multiplier is recoded in this algorithm by converting N
consecutive 1s of the binary numbers into N-1 consecutive 0s ,
Ex: 011110(30) to 0+1000-10(30) [0100000(32)-0000010(2)].
Booth algorithm reduces the number of partial products by
skipping the string of zeros in the recoded version of multiplier
(skipping over zeros).
There by speed of the algorithm increases and is proportional to
number of zeros in the recoded version of the multiplier.

Major Drawback Is, If The Multiplier Contains Only Small Groups
Of 1s Or Even Alternating 01 Pairs.
Ex:001010101(0) Recoded As 01-11-11-11-1, Requiring more
partial products.
For sequential add-shift hardware, bit pairing reduces the
summation effort substantially with/without booth recoding
It is faster but accumulates more power and area hungry.
CONCLUSIONS
BOOTH ALGORITHM CAN REDUCE NON-ZERO SUMMANDS.
IT CAN REDUCE PARTIAL PRODUCTS OBTAINED WHILE
MULTIPLYING.
IT MAKES PROCESSOR SPEED FASTER COMPARED WITH
OTHER METHODS.
BIT PAIRING REDUCES NUMBER OF SUMMANDS
CONSIDERABLY
BOOTH ALGORITHM IS SUPERIOR IN AREA AND POWER
WHEN COMPARED TO NON-BOOTH ALGORITHM METHODS.

FURTHER
RESEARCH
We have observed from algorithm that it compares 2 bits, but as
we go for higher even this takes same time as sequential add
shift, so we can have 3 bits comparison.
This has great impact in digital signal processing especially in
Fast Fourier Transform(FFT) calculations and Radix calculations.
This can further be implemented in FFT processors for
calculations in the design of VLSI circuits.
