Abstract
In this paper we propose a system computing A mod B for given n A -bit binary integer A and n B -bit binary integer B, which is the first system directly solving the modulus problem in tile assembly model. The worst-case assembly time of our system is Θ(n A (n A − n B )) and the best-case assembly time is Θ(n A ).
Although the pre-existing division system which computes A/B can also be used to compute A mod B, the assembly time of this system is not ideal in some cases. Compared with the pre-existing division system, we achieved improved time complexity in our system. Our advantage is more significant if n A is much greater than n B .
