A Vector-Like Reconfigurable Floating-Point Unit for the Logarithm

The use of reconfigurable computing for accelerating floating-point intensive codes is becoming common due to the availability of DSPs in new-generation FPGAs. We present the design of an efficient, pipelined floating-point datapath for calculating the logarithm function on reconfigurable devices. W...
