SAGA: the first general-purpose on-line arithmetic co-processor
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a VLSI realisation of an on-line arithmetic co-processor that implements a novel algorithm known as BKM. The obtained circuit computes the complex exponential or logarithm functions. All basic mathematical operations can hence be computed. The obtained circuit might be considered as the first on-line arithmetic co-processor. The chip was designed using a specific CMOS on-line library, a generated decision and control part and some full-custom blocs.

متن کاملARABICA: A Reconfigurable Arithmetic Block for ISA Customization
We propose a dynamically reconfigurable arithmetic block architecture for customizing embedded application processor instruction sets. Our architecture uses medium-grained arithmetic blocks and a dedicated but reconfigurable interconnection network to support a wide range of instruction-set extensions. Our experimental results demonstrate the performance of our arithmetic block compared to a ge...
متن کاملUltra-Low-Energy DSP Processor Design for Many-Core Parallel Applications
Background and Objectives: Digital signal processors are widely used in energy constrained applications in which battery lifetime is a critical concern. Accordingly, designing ultra-low-energy processors is a major concern. In this work and in the first step, we propose a sub-threshold DSP processor. Methods: As our baseline architecture, we use a modified version of an existing ultra-low-power...

متن کاملA Note on the First Geometric-Arithmetic Index of Hexagonal Systems and Phenylenes
The first geometric-arithmetic index was introduced in the chemical theory as the summation of 2 du dv /(du dv ) overall edges of the graph, where du stand for the degree of the vertex u. In this paper we give the expressions for computing the first geometric-arithmetic index of hexagonal systems and phenylenes and present new method for describing hexagonal system by corresponding a simple g...
