Equivalence of Hardware and Software: A case study for solving polynomial functions
Kuo-pao Yang, Theresa Beaubouef · 2010
Newton's Method for finding roots of polynomials is investigated as a case study in demonstrating the Principle of Equivalence of Hardware and Software. Implementations of this procedure in C++ code and in hardware on a field programmable gate array (FPGA) are presented. The similarities and differences in the two approaches are discussed.
