Context;
Un tel multiplieur par décalage et addition comprend typiquement plusieurs unités de décalage (de l’anglais shifts), chaque unité de décalage étant connectée à l’entrée et configurée pour effectuer un décalage d’un nombre prédéfini de bits vers la gauche de la valeur reçue en entrée
Another editing task and not certain about terminology.
Should this be "shift units" or "shifting units", but not "shifts units"?
Translated text - Such a multiplier by offset and addition typically comprises a plurality of shifts units, each shifting unit being connected to the input and configured to shift the input value to the left by a predefined number of bits; and a set of summing unit(s) connected directly to the output of the shifting units and configured to sum the outputs of the shifting units.

shifter / shifter unit

"unité de décalage" = the piece of hardware that does the "shifting" - which amount to multiplication in base 2 of the initial content of the register - multiplication by 2 / 4 / 8 / 16 / ... (2 exp n) if all bits are shifted 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / ... n positions.
multiplieur par décalage et addition = a "unit that does the multiplication" by shifting and adding (implied: by shifting the content of one register (at the time) and adding of the contents of two (or more) registers containing the "shifted" values)
unité de décalage = a unit that does the "shifting"= shifter / shifter unit

There are about 10,000 search result matches for "shift units" + computing, seems to be ok.

Oh, lucky you. I love Toulouse, pity it's so hot down there.
I meant this as a Discussion entry, but the new lay-out fooled me. Now back on old lay-out again.

Thanks. I`ll not get my red pen out just yet, in any case have to go down to Toulouse so will not be back at desk before late afternoon. |
Not so hot Toulouse, just found out a pullover to take with me. The Sun has gone on strike, again. |

Such a multiplier (/multiplication unit (?) operating by...) by shifting and adding typically comprises a plurality of shifters (/shifter units), each shifter (/shifter unit) being connected to the input and configured to shift the input value to the left by a predefined number of bits; and a set of adders (/ adder units) connected directly to the output of the shifters (/shifter units) and configured to sum the outputs of the shifters (/shifter units).
BTW "shift" is one of the most basic commands in "bare metal" computer programming.
shifter is "registre à décalage" if i am not mistaken. // what i mean by that is shifter unit feels weird, as shifter = unité de décalage in the references, to quote "Les unités de calcul, 3 unités: UAL, multiplieur, registre de décalage (shifter)" 'Unité de décalage (Shifter)"; would stick with shift unit.
https://constellation.uqac.ca/509/1/24625610.pdf page 21 under "Multipliers" "Décalage et addition — Un opérande est décalé à gauche d'un bit par cycle et est appliqué à un additionneur lorsque le bit correspondant du second opérande est haut. Cette technique donne des mises en œuvre compactes, mais très lentes, nécessitant N cycles d'horloge pour se compléter, et ne permet pas le chevauchement des calculs. Arbre logique - Chacun des bits résultants sont une fonction logique des bits associés de chaque opérande. Cela donne une grande structure à entrance élevée, envisageable jusqu'à 32 bits"

There's 'clunky' and 'clunky' — patentese is clunky in a specific way, compared to everyday EN — but when you get bits that sound clunky even to the jargon-attuned ears of a specialist in the field, you can start to suspect soemthing's amiss.
I'm not too sure about that "multiplier by offset and addition" either... sounds clunky to me, not natural jargon. I'd expect something more like 'shift/add multiplier' etc.
