# Reciprocation, Square root, Inverse Square Root, and some Elementary Functions using Small Multipliers

Abstract : This paper deals with the computation of reciprocals, square roots, inverse square roots, and some elementary functions using small tables, small multipliers, and for some functions, a final large'' (almost full-length) multiplication. We propose a method that allows fast evaluation of these functions in double precision arithmetic. The strength of this method is that the same scheme allows the computation of all these functions. Our method is mainly interesting for designing special purpose circuits, since it does not allow a simple implementation of the four rounding modes required by the IEEE-754 standard for floating-point arithmetic.
