Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Designs and evalaution of reciprocal square root computing circuits based on our previously proposed digit-recurrence algorithm are presented. The input and output of each circuit are in the IEEE-754 floating point basic format. Two different implementation approachs are presented. One following the IEEE-754 rounding and the other allowing an error within 1 ulp (unit in the last place). The designs of radix-2, radix-4, and overlapped radix-2 (radix-4) circuits are presented. For any radix, the area of the circuit that follows the IEEE-754 rounding is about 1.7 times as large as that of the circuit that allows an error within 1 ulp. As a result, we show that the delay of radix-4 circuits is similar to that of the overlapped radix-2 (radix-4) circuits, and that the area of the former become smaller than that of the latter.
