An On-Line Square Root Algorithm
Oklobdzija, Ercegovac · IEEE Transactions on Computers · 1982
In this correspondence a systematic derivation of an on-line square root algorithm is presented. The algorithm operates on variables represented in the normalized radix r floating-point system in a digit-by-digit fashion with an on-line delay of 1. The approach used in deriving the square root algorithm is described in detail. The basic characteristics of hardware-level implementation are also discussed.
