Various configurations of processors are provided. In a configuration, the processor comprises first and second multiplication unit. Each of these multiplication units includes carry-save adder circuitry with a respective outputs, partial product alignment multiplexing logic coupled to the outputs of the associated carry-save adder circuitry. The processor further comprises communication paths coupled between the outputs of the carry-save adder circuitry of the first multiplication unit and the partial product alignment multiplexing logic of the second multiplication unit. In other configurations, each of the first and second multiplication units may include one or more instances of masking logic, one or more instances of a multiplier array coupled to the associated instance(s) of masking logic, and one or more instances of a multiplexer set coupled to the associated instance(s) of multiplier array(s). Each of multiplexer set instance(s) of a particular multiplication unit is coupled to the carry-save adder circuitry of that multiplication unit.
