CORDIC

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CORDIC(coordinate rotation digital computer),Volder's algorithm,Digit-by-digit method,Circular CORDIC(Jack E. Volder),[1][2]Linear CORDIC,Hyperbolic CORDIC(John Stephen Walther),[3][4]andGeneralized Hyperbolic CORDIC(GH CORDIC) (Yuanyong Luo et al.),[5][6]is a simple and efficientalgorithmto calculatetrigonometric functions,hyperbolic functions,square roots,multiplications,divisions,andexponentialsandlogarithmswith arbitrary base, typically converging with one digit (or bit) per iteration. CORDIC is therefore also an example ofdigit-by-digit algorithms.CORDIC and closely related methods known aspseudo-multiplicationandpseudo-divisionorfactor combiningare commonly used when nohardware multiplieris available (e.g. in simplemicrocontrollersandfield-programmable gate arraysor FPGAs), as the only operations they require areadditions,subtractions,bitshiftandlookup tables.As such, they all belong to the class ofshift-and-add algorithms.In computer science, CORDIC is often used to implementfloating-point arithmeticwhen the target platform lacks hardware multiply for cost or space reasons.

History

[edit]

Similar mathematical techniques were published byHenry Briggsas early as 1624[7][8]and Robert Flower in 1771,[9]but CORDIC is better optimized for low-complexity finite-state CPUs.

CORDIC was conceived in 1956[10][11]byJack E. Volderat theaeroelectronicsdepartment ofConvairout of necessity to replace theanalog resolverin theB-58 bomber's navigation computer with a more accurate and faster real-time digital solution.[11]Therefore, CORDIC is sometimes referred to as adigital resolver.[12][13]

In his research Volder was inspired by a formula in the 1946 edition of theCRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics:[11]

whereis such that,and.

His research led to an internal technical report proposing the CORDIC algorithm to solvesineandcosinefunctions and a prototypical computer implementing it.[10][11]The report also discussed the possibility to compute hyperboliccoordinate rotation,logarithmsandexponential functionswith modified CORDIC algorithms.[10][11]Utilizing CORDIC formultiplicationanddivisionwas also conceived at this time.[11]Based on the CORDIC principle, Dan H. Daggett, a colleague of Volder at Convair, developed conversion algorithms between binary andbinary-coded decimal(BCD).[11][14]

In 1958, Convair finally started to build a demonstration system to solveradar fix–taking problems namedCORDIC I,completed in 1960 without Volder, who had left the company already.[1][11]More universalCORDIC IImodelsA(stationary) andB(airborne) were built and tested by Daggett and Harry Schuss in 1962.[11][15]

Volder's CORDIC algorithm was first described in public in 1959,[1][2][11][13][16]which caused it to be incorporated into navigation computers by companies includingMartin-Orlando,Computer Control,Litton,Kearfott,Lear-Siegler,Sperry,Raytheon,andCollins Radio.[11]

Volder teamed up with Malcolm McMillan to buildAthena,afixed-pointdesktop calculatorutilizing his binary CORDIC algorithm.[17]The design was introduced toHewlett-Packardin June 1965, but not accepted.[17]Still, McMillan introducedDavid S. Cochran(HP) to Volder's algorithm and when Cochran later met Volder he referred him to a similar approachJohn E. Meggitt(IBM[18]) had proposed aspseudo-multiplicationandpseudo-divisionin 1961.[18][19]Meggitt's method also suggested the use of base 10[18]rather thanbase 2,as used by Volder's CORDIC so far. These efforts led to theROMablelogic implementation of a decimal CORDIC prototype machine inside of Hewlett-Packard in 1966,[20][19]built by and conceptually derived fromThomas E. Osborne's prototypicalGreen Machine,a four-function,floating-pointdesktop calculator he had completed inDTLlogic[17]in December 1964.[21]This project resulted in the public demonstration of Hewlett-Packard's first desktop calculator with scientific functions, theHP 9100Ain March 1968, with series production starting later that year.[17][21][22][23]

WhenWang Laboratoriesfound that the HP 9100A usedan approach similarto thefactor combiningmethod in their earlierLOCI-1[24](September 1964) andLOCI-2(January 1965)[25][26]Logarithmic Computing Instrumentdesktop calculators,[27]they unsuccessfully accused Hewlett-Packard of infringement of one ofAn Wang's patents in 1968.[19][28][29][30]

John Stephen Waltherat Hewlett-Packard generalized the algorithm into theUnified CORDICalgorithm in 1971, allowing it to calculatehyperbolic functions,natural exponentials,natural logarithms,multiplications,divisions,andsquare roots.[31][3][4][32]The CORDICsubroutinesfor trigonometric and hyperbolic functions could share most of their code.[28]This development resulted in the firstscientifichandheld calculator,theHP-35in 1972.[28][33][34][35][36][37]Based on hyperbolic CORDIC,Yuanyong Luoet al. further proposed a Generalized Hyperbolic CORDIC (GH CORDIC) to directly compute logarithms and exponentials with an arbitrary fixed base in 2019.[5][6][38][39][40]Theoretically, Hyperbolic CORDIC is a special case of GH CORDIC.[5]

Originally, CORDIC was implemented only using thebinary numeral systemand despite Meggitt suggesting the use of the decimal system for his pseudo-multiplication approach, decimal CORDIC continued to remain mostly unheard of for several more years, so thatHermann Schmidand Anthony Bogacki still suggested it as a novelty as late as 1973[16][13][41][42][43]and it was found only later that Hewlett-Packard had implemented it in 1966 already.[11][13][20][28]

Decimal CORDIC became widely used inpocket calculators,[13]most of which operate in binary-coded decimal (BCD) rather than binary. This change in the input and output format did not alter CORDIC's core calculation algorithms. CORDIC is particularly well-suited for handheld calculators, in which low cost – and thus low chip gate count – is much more important than speed.

CORDIC has been implemented in theARM-basedSTM32G4,Intel 8087,[43][44][45][46][47]80287,[47][48]80387[47][48]up to the80486[43]coprocessor series as well as in theMotorola 68881[43][44]and68882for some kinds of floating-point instructions, mainly as a way to reduce the gate counts (and complexity) of theFPUsub-system.

Applications

[edit]

CORDIC uses simple shift-add operations for several computing tasks such as the calculation of trigonometric, hyperbolic and logarithmic functions, real and complex multiplications, division, square-root calculation, solution of linear systems,eigenvalueestimation,singular value decomposition,QR factorizationand many others. As a consequence, CORDIC has been used for applications in diverse areas such assignalandimage processing,communication systems,roboticsand3D graphicsapart from general scientific and technical computation.[49][50]

Hardware

[edit]

The algorithm was used in the navigational system of theApollo program'sLunar Roving Vehicleto computebearingand range, or distance from theLunar module.[51][52]CORDIC was used to implement theIntel 8087math coprocessor in 1980, avoiding the need to implement hardware multiplication.[53]

CORDIC is generally faster than other approaches when a hardware multiplier is not available (e.g., a microcontroller), or when the number of gates required to implement the functions it supports should be minimized (e.g., in an FPGA orASIC). In fact, CORDIC is a standard drop-inIPin FPGA development applications such as Vivado for Xilinx, while a power series implementation is not due to the specificity of such an IP, i.e. CORDIC can compute many different functions (general purpose) while a hardware multiplier configured to execute power series implementations can only compute the function it was designed for.

On the other hand, when a hardware multiplier is available (e.g.,in aDSPmicroprocessor), table-lookup methods andpower seriesare generally faster than CORDIC. In recent years, the CORDIC algorithm has been used extensively for various biomedical applications, especially in FPGA implementations.[citation needed]

TheSTM32G4series and certainSTM32H7series of MCUs implement a CORDIC module to accelerate computations in various mixed signal applications such as graphics forhuman-machine interfaceandfield oriented controlof motors. While not as fast as a power series approximation, CORDIC is indeed faster than interpolating table based implementations such as the ones provided by the ARM CMSIS and C standard libraries.[54]Though the results may be slightly less accurate as the CORDIC modules provided only achieve 20 bits of precision in the result. For example, most of the performance difference compared to the ARM implementation is due to the overhead of the interpolation algorithm, which achieves full floating point precision (24 bits) and can likely achieve relative error to that precision.[55]Another benefit is that the CORDIC module is a coprocessor and can be run in parallel with other CPU tasks.

The issue with usingTaylor seriesis that while they do provide small absolute error, they do not exhibit well behaved relative error.[56]Other means of polynomial approximation, such asminimaxoptimization, may be used to control both kinds of error.

Software

[edit]

Many older systems with integer-only CPUs have implemented CORDIC to varying extents as part of theirIEEE floating-pointlibraries. As most modern general-purpose CPUs have floating-point registers with common operations such as add, subtract, multiply, divide, sine, cosine, square root, log10,natural log, the need to implement CORDIC in them with software is nearly non-existent. Only microcontroller or special safety and time-constrained software applications would need to consider using CORDIC.

Modes of operation

[edit]

Rotation mode

[edit]

CORDIC can be used to calculate a number of different functions. This explanation shows how to use CORDIC inrotation modeto calculate the sine and cosine of an angle, assuming that the desired angle is given inradiansand represented in a fixed-point format. To determine the sine or cosine for an angle,theyorxcoordinate of a point on theunit circlecorresponding to the desired angle must be found. Using CORDIC, one would start with the vector:

An illustration of the CORDIC algorithm in progress

In the first iteration, this vector is rotated 45° counterclockwise to get the vector.Successive iterations rotate the vector in one or the other direction by size-decreasing steps, until the desired angle has been achieved. Each step angle isfor.

More formally, every iteration calculates a rotation, which is performed by multiplying the vectorwith therotation matrix:

The rotation matrix is given by

Using thetrigonometric identity:

the cosine factor can be taken out to give:

The expression for the rotated vectorthen becomes:

whereandare the components of.Setting the anglefor each iteration such thatstill yields a series that converges to every possible output value. The multiplication with the tangent can therefore be replaced by a division by a power of two, which is efficiently done in digital computer hardware using abit shift.The expression then becomes:

andis used to determine the direction of the rotation: if the angleis positive, thenis +1, otherwise it is −1.

The following trigonometric identity can be used to replace the cosine:

,

giving this multiplier for each iteration:

Thefactors can then be taken out of the iterative process and applied all at once afterwards with a scaling factor:

which is calculated in advance and stored in a table or as a single constant, if the number of iterations is fixed. This correction could also be made in advance, by scalingand hence saving a multiplication. Additionally, it can be noted that[43]

to allow further reduction of the algorithm's complexity. Some applications may avoid correcting foraltogether, resulting in a processing gain:[57]

After a sufficient number of iterations, the vector's angle will be close to the wanted angle.For most ordinary purposes, 40 iterations (n= 40) are sufficient to obtain the correct result to the 10th decimal place.

The only task left is to determine whether the rotation should be clockwise or counterclockwise at each iteration (choosing the value of). This is done by keeping track of how much the angle was rotated at each iteration and subtracting that from the wanted angle; then in order to get closer to the wanted angle,ifis positive, the rotation is clockwise, otherwise it is negative and the rotation is counterclockwise:

The values ofmust also be precomputed and stored. For small angles it can be approximated withto reduce the table size.

As can be seen in the illustration above, the sine of the angleis theycoordinate of the final vectorwhile thexcoordinate is the cosine value.

Vectoring mode

[edit]

The rotation-mode algorithm described above can rotate any vector (not only a unit vector aligned along thexaxis) by an angle between −90° and +90°. Decisions on the direction of the rotation depend onbeing positive or negative.

The vectoring-mode of operation requires a slight modification of the algorithm. It starts with a vector whosexcoordinate is positive whereas theycoordinate is arbitrary. Successive rotations have the goal of rotating the vector to thexaxis (and therefore reducing theycoordinate to zero). At each step, the value ofydetermines the direction of the rotation. The final value ofcontains the total angle of rotation. The final value ofxwill be the magnitude of the original vector scaled byK.So, an obvious use of the vectoring mode is the transformation from rectangular to polar coordinates.

Implementation

[edit]

In Java the Math class has ascalb(double x,int scale)method to perform such a shift,[58]C has theldexpfunction,[59]and the x86 class of processors have thefscalefloating point operation.[60]

Hardware example

[edit]

The number oflogic gatesfor the implementation of a CORDIC is roughly comparable to the number required for a multiplier as both require combinations of shifts and additions. The choice for a multiplier-based or CORDIC-based implementation will depend on the context. The multiplication of twocomplex numbersrepresented by their real and imaginary components (rectangular coordinates), for example, requires 4 multiplications, but could be realized by a single CORDIC operating on complex numbers represented by their polar coordinates, especially if the magnitude of the numbers is not relevant (multiplying a complex vector with a vector on the unit circle actually amounts to a rotation). CORDICs are often used in circuits for telecommunications such asdigital down converters.

Double iterations CORDIC

[edit]

In two of the publications by Vladimir Baykov,[61][62]it was proposed to use thedouble iterationsmethod for the implementation of the functions: arcsine, arccosine, natural logarithm, exponential function, as well as for the calculation of the hyperbolic functions. Double iterations method consists in the fact that unlike the classical CORDIC method, where the iteration step value changeseverytime, i.e. on each iteration, in the double iteration method, the iteration step value is repeated twice and changes only through one iteration. Hence the designation for the degree indicator for double iterations appeared:.Whereas with ordinary iterations:.The double iteration method guarantees the convergence of the method throughout the valid range of argument changes.

The generalization of the CORDIC convergence problems for the arbitrary positional number system with radixshowed[63]that for the functions sine, cosine, arctangent, it is enough to performiterations for each value of i (i = 0 or 1 to n, where n is the number of digits), i.e. for each digit of the result. For the natural logarithm, exponential, hyperbolic sine, cosine and arctangent,iterations should be performed for each value.For the functions arcsine and arccosine, twoiterations should be performed for each number digit, i.e. for each value of.[63]

For inverse hyperbolic sine and arcosine functions, the number of iterations will befor each,that is, for each result digit.

[edit]

CORDIC is part of the class of"shift-and-add" algorithms,as are the logarithm and exponential algorithms derived from Henry Briggs' work. Another shift-and-add algorithm which can be used for computing many elementary functions is theBKM algorithm,which is a generalization of the logarithm and exponential algorithms to the complex plane. For instance, BKM can be used to compute the sine and cosine of a real angle(in radians) by computing the exponential of,which is.The BKM algorithm is slightly more complex than CORDIC, but has the advantage that it does not need a scaling factor (K).

This is the same type of algorithm that was used in previous HP desktop calculators. […] The complexity of the algorithms made multilevel programming a necessity. This meant the calculator had to have subroutine capability, […] To generate a transcendental function such as Arc-Hyperbolic-Tan required several levels of subroutines. […] Chris Clare later documented this asAlgorithmic State Machine(ASM) methodology. Even the simple Sine or Cosine used the Tangent routine, and then calculated the Sine from trigonometric identities. These arduous manipulations were necessary to minimize the number of unique programs and program steps […] The arithmetic instruction set was designed specifically for a decimal transcendental-function calculator. The basic arithmetic operations are performed by a10's complementadder-subtractor which has data paths to three of the registers that are used as working storage.
