Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for performing a calculation using a coordinate rotation digital computer (CORDIC) algorithm. A step of the coordinate rotation digital computer algorithm is performed. As a result of performing the step, a value of the coordinate rotation digital computer algorithm is reduced. The value is shifted using a physical adder. A set of bits of the physical adder is disabled, wherein the set of bits corresponds to at least one high order zero of the value.
