I have been talking about the simplifications for some time now. 
Regardless, the code you produced shows how simple the design is when 
using the multipliers.

I'm not sure what you are asking.  I'm just saying that you created 
three tables when only two are needed.  One is the full 32 bit width and 
the other is only 16 bit width since the upper bits of the 32 bit 
product will all be zero.

Don't copy your analysis???  I don't know what you mean.

Are you sure you wish to continue this discussion?

You have the numbers.  What more do you need?
