An Elementary Transcendental Function Core Library for Reconfigurable Computing

Berkeley Elementary Functions Test Suite

A suite of programs is presented to test how accurately the elementary transcendental functions exp, log, sin, cos and atan have been implemented in a computer’s run-time library. The suite is written in the language C and designed to run on any computer with binary floating-point arithmetic rounded in a reasonable way. The suite makes no appeal to extra-precise arithmetic; the tests use only w...

Determination of a Matrix Function in the Form of f(A)=g(q(A)) Where g(x) Is a Transcendental Function and q(x) Is a Polynomial Function of Large Degree Using the Minimal Polynomial

Matrix functions are used in many areas of linear algebra and arise in numerical applications in science and engineering. In this paper, we introduce an effective approach for determining matrix function f(A)=g(q(A)) of a square matrix A, where q is a polynomial function from a degree of m and also function g can be a transcendental function. Computing a matrix function f(A) will be time- consu...

Implementation of VlSI Based Image Compression Approach on Reconfigurable Computing System - A Survey

Image data require huge amounts of disk space and large bandwidths for transmission. Hence, imagecompression is necessary to reduce the amount of data required to represent a digital image. Thereforean efficient technique for image compression is highly pushed to demand. Although, lots of compressiontechniques are available, but the technique which is faster, memory efficient and simple, surely...

A flexible floating-point logarithm for reconfigurable computers

The advent of reconfigurable co-processors based on field-programmable gate arrays has renewed interest in hardware architectures for elementary functions. This article studies operators for the logarithm function in the context of this target technology. An old algorithm is generalized, fine-tuned and implemented as an architecture generator, exposing a wide range of trade-offs between resourc...
