A Systematic Design Method for Two-Variable Numeric Function Generators Using Multiple-Valued Decision Diagrams
This paper proposes a high-speed architecture to realize two-variable numeric functions. It represents the given function as an edgevalued multiple-valued decision diagram (EVMDD), and shows a systematic design method based on the EVMDD. To achieve a design, we characterize a numeric function f by the values of l and p for which f is an l-restricted Mp-monotone increasing function. Here, l is a...
متن کاملNumeric Function Generators Using Decision Diagrams for Discrete Functions
This paper introduces design methods for numeric function generators (NFGs) using decision diagrams. NFGs are hardware accelerators to compute values of numeric functions such as trigonometric, logarithmic, square root, and reciprocal functions. Most existing design methods for NFGs are intended only for a specific class of numeric functions. However, by using decision diagrams for discrete fun...
متن کاملProgrammable Architectures and Design Methods for Two-Variable Numeric Function Generators
This paper proposes programmable architectures and design methods for numeric function generators (NFGs) of two-variable functions. To realize a twovariable function in hardware, we partition a given domain of the function into segments, and approximate the function by a polynomial in each segment. This paper introduces two planar segmentation algorithms that efficiently partition a domain of a...
متن کاملPlanar Multiple-Valued Decision Diagrams
In VLSI, crossings occupy space and cause delay. Therefore, there is significant benefit to planar circuits. We propose the use of planar multiple-valued decision diagrams to produce planar multiple-valued circuits. Specifically, we show conditions on 1) threshold functions, 2 symmetric functions, and 3) monodiagrams. Our results apply to binary functions, as well. For example, we show that all...
