What's With the Name?
A barrel shifter is a digital circuit that can shift a data word by a specified number of bits in one clock cycle. It can be implemented as a sequence of multiplexers (mux.), and in such an implementation the output of one mux is connected to the input of the next mux in a way that depends on the shift distance.

Trivia
The world of home computers didn't really become interesting until late 1986 when Intel released its 3rd generation chip - the 80386, or simply the 386 which used the barrel shifter to rotate any 32-bit number in one clock cycle. The removal of the barrel shifter from Intel's P4 design is blamed by most for its slowness.
