Teams:                        Form groups of 2-4 each.  Email Dayuan with the team name and members.

 

Task:

Using the ARM simulator (ARMSim), write code that computes several complex values:

sin(x), cos(x), tan(x), and ex.

of 32 bit IEEE-754 floating point numbers without using ARM multiplier.  There will be extra credit for any additional functions you generate (e.g., sinh(x), cosh(x), tanh(x)).  Feel free to use any code you can find as long as you reference it and make sure it’

 

Proposed steps:

  • Read a single number (x) from memory (store any constants in memory)
  • Compute sin(x) π 360
  • Compute cos(x)
  • Compute tan(x)
  • Compute ex
  • Store result (and anything else interesting) in memory
  • Determine how may computer cycles it took.

Sunday, 3 Dec, 11.59pm:              Assembly code due on Blackboard
