— We develop the foundations for confirming monotonicity of a multi-term reciprocal function approximation. We introduce the concept of operand recoding to improve the accuracy ...
We present a new micro-architecture for evaluating functions based on piecewise quadratic interpolation. The micro-architecture consists mainly of a look-up table and two multiply...
Abstract. This paper presents a new scheme for the hardware evaluation of elementary functions, based on a piecewise second order minimax approximation. The novelty is that this ev...
Data-parallel architectures like SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) or SIMT (Single Instruction Multiple Thread) have been adopted in many recent CPU and GPU architectures. Al...
The Pentium computer chip’s division algorithm relies on a table from which five entries were inadvertently omitted, with the result that 1738 single precision dividenddivisor ...
