Toward CORDIC-based Hyperbolic Function Implementation for Neural Engineering Hardware
Ardavan Vakil, Miad Faezipour · 2022
Researchers have proposed various models pertaining to the biological and mathematical aspects of neuronal spiking patterns. However, there is not much effort seen in running hyperbolic neuronal spiking pattern models in real-time hardware applications. Since hyperbolic functions are not synthesizable for computer/digital hardware, the CORDIC algorithm can be used to implement efficient hardware running the hyperbolic models of neuronal spiking patterns. Initially, CORDIC was specifically designed for real time computations in areal applications. In this research-work-in-progress, the development of the CORDIC algorithm with Verilog hardware description language is presented that can be used toward designing neural engineering hardware trigonometric and hyperbolic functions.
