High-speed numeric function generator using quadratic approximations

The CORDIC algorithm is an accurate way to compute the value of a function like sin(x), for a given value of x. However, it is iterative and slow. In this thesis, we show that a wide class of arithmetic functions can be realized on the SRC-6, a reconfigurable computer, using polynomial approximati...
