Week 12: Elementary functions (CORDIC and STAM methods)
This week we will discuss ways to implement elementary functions such as sin, cos, sqrt etc. The first technique is the CORDIC algorithm (also see the "Computer Arithmetic" chapter in the notes and Ray Andraka's CORDIC webpage, particularly his "A survey of CORDIC algorithms for FPGAs" paper). We will also describe the symmetric table addition method (STAM) (also see the original paper).Posted by phwl at March 26, 2005 11:32 AM
