Approximating trigonometric functions for posits using the CORDIC method
Jay P. Lim, Matan Shachnai, Santosh Nagarakatte · 2020
Posit is a recently proposed representation for approximating real numbers using a finite number of bits. In contrast to the floating point (FP) representation, posit provides variable precision with a fixed number of total bits (i.e., tapered accuracy). Posit can represent a set of numbers with higher precision than FP and has garnered significant interest in various domains. The posit ecosystem currently does not have a native general-purpose math library.
