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

On-Line Schemes For Computing Rotation Angles For SVDS

TL;DR: Two floating-point radix-2 schemes using on-line arithmetic for implementing the direct two-angle method for SVDs are presented and the fastest of the schemes is the fastest but requires a relatively large number of modules.

CORDIC-based window implementation to minimise area and pipeline depth

TL;DR: This study presents a field-programmable gate array implementation of various window functions using coordinate rotation digital computer (CORDIC) algorithm to minimise area-delay product and proposes a new generalised technique for micro-rotation sequence identification to reduce the number of iterations required by the pipelined CORDIC processor.

QRD and SVD processor design based on an approximate rotations algorithm

TL;DR: A modification to the original approximate rotations algorithm to simplify the method of optimal angle selection is proposed, and analysis shows that fewer iterations of the approximateRotations algorithm are required compared with the conventional CORDIC algorithm to achieve similar degrees of accuracy.
