Abstract
Virtually all numerical techniques for elementary function generation share the common property of avoiding multiplication by iteratively performing shift operations. However, with the advent of VLSI, multiplier economics are considerably less formidable than before. The author proposes combining multipliers with these multiplication-free algorithms to construct fast methods of elementary function generation. He demonstrates the idea by combining multipliers with the CORDIC algorithm to achieve fast vector rotation
