Abstract
This paper describes a single unified algorithm for the calculation of elementary functions including multiplication, division, sin, cos, tan, arctan, sinh, cosh, tanh, arctanh, In, exp and square-root The basis for the algorithm is coordinate rotation in a linear, circular, or hyperbolic coordinate system depending on which function is to be calculated The only operations required are shifting, adding, subtracting and the recall of prestored constants The limited domain of convergence of the algorithm is calculated, leading to a discussion of the modifications required to extend the domain for floating point calculations

Very high speed cordic implementation: algorithm transformation and novel carry-save architecture

TL;DR: Transformations of the original CORDIC algorithm are derived which result in partially fixed iteration sequences no longer dependent on intermediate signs for the CORDic vectoring as well as rotation mode, and very fast and efficient carry-save architectures using redundant absolute value computation result from the transformed algorithms.
