Challenges and Limitations of the Barret Reduction Algorithm
- It requires the precomputation of the magic number, which adds overhead when the modulus changes very frequently.
- It totally depends on the modulus chosen if a modulus is chosen poorly it may take the same time as the traditional modulus methods.
- It may not extend to all computational scenarios and in some cases, other algorithms can be used.
Introduction to Barret Reduction Algorithm
Barret Reduction Algorithm is an algorithm that helps in turning the modulo operations into a series of multiplications and substractions to solve the problem efficiently.
