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

CORDIC algorithm with digits skipping

TL;DR: A modification of the CORDIC algorithm which permits one to reduce the average number of iterations by up to 31% with a very low hardware cost, based on skipping consecutive zeros and Booth recoding consecutive ones in the z coordinate after iteration n/2.

Function approximation on decimal operands

TL;DR: An improved CORDIC-based method so as to approximate functions on decimal operands is proposed that will work with BCD operands, so no conversion to/from radix-2 is needed and an important reduction in the number of iterations is achieved.

Low-Cost and Fast Design of Precise Activation Functions in Neural Network

TL;DR: The simple algorithm proposed in this paper, in which only a half-domain exponential function is applied prior to a Booth division, can reduce both the area overhead and the power consumption and the acceleration in backpropagation and learning rate.
