Design and analysis of generalized dynamic pipeline for scientific functions

A generalized pipeline has been proposed which can perform the evaluation of scientific functions like Sin(x), Sinh(x), Sin/sup -1/(x), x/sup Y/ logarithm, and antilogarithm. In this design, the same pipeline is used for evaluating different scientific functions. This pipeline is dynamic and thus can achieve significant speed improvement over other pipeline architectures available in the literature. Furthermore, it utilizes hardware efficiently and has more application flexibility.<>
