COMPUTER-HARDWARE EVALUATION OF MATHEMATICAL FUNCTIONS

Focusing on the evaluation of mathematical functions in computer hardware, this book explores methods for calculating reciprocals, square roots, exponentials, and more. It categorizes these methods into four main themes: CORDIC, normalization, table look-up, and polynomial approximations. Each section delves into the mathematical derivations, effectiveness, and potential hardware implementations, including analyses of mathematical errors. This comprehensive approach provides a clear understanding of both the theory and practical applications in hardware design.
