Description
Teams: Form groups of 4 each. Email Chi with the team name and members.
Task:
Using the Verilog, write code that computes sinh(x), cosh(x), and ex of 32 bit IEEE-754 floating point numbers without using multiplication operations. There will be extra credit for any additional functions you generate.
Proposed steps:
- Read a number from memory (store any constants in memory)
- Computer sinh(x)
- Computer cosh(x)
- Computer ex
- Store result (and anything else interesting) in memory
Schedule:
Sunday, 7 May, 11.59pm: Verilog code due on Blackboard
Monday, 9 May, 11.59pm: No changes allowed after submission
Documentation due on Blackboard as PDF
