Speculatively Redundant Continued Logarithm Representation
Continued logarithms, as originally introduced by Gosper, represent a means for exact rational arithmetic, but their application to exact real arithmetic is limited by the uniquene...

A Hardware-Independent Fast Logarithm Approximation with Adjustable Accuracy
Many multimedia applications rely on the computation of logarithms, for example, when estimating log-likelihoods for Gaussian Mixture Models. Knowing of the demand to compute loga...

An iterative logarithmic multiplier
The paper presents a new multiplier enabling achievement of an arbitrary accuracy. It follows the same idea of number representation as the Mitchell’s algorithm, but does not use...
