Automatic Generation of Low-Power Circuits for the Evaluation of Polynomials
Arnaud Tisserand · 2006
This paper presents a method for the automatic generation of high-performance and low-power arithmetic operators based on polynomial approximations. It deals with the bit-level representation of the polynomial coefficients, the intermediate computations width, the approximation and the rounding errors. The generated operators are small, fast and numerically validated at design time. Some examples have been implemented on FPGAs.
