Does anyone knows the resources for the algos used in the HW implementations of math functions? I mean the algos inside the CPUs and GPUs. How they make a tradeoff between transistor number, power consumption, cycles, which algos allow this.
- groos 7mo agoHere's one way to do it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CORDIC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CORDIC
- empiricus 7mo agoThanks, but this seems to be optimized for the smallest number of gates, so it applies for simple microcontrollers and FPGA, and with limited precision. I was interested in actual state of the art used in modern CPUs and GPUs.
