Objective
\n<\/em>This project aims to propose the generalized design method and computational architecture of more than 20 kinds of nonlinear functions. By this they can be used in more algorithm acceleration without doing a lot of repetitive development work.<\/p>\n

Background
\n<\/em>As the foundation of the future development of smart society, the digital chips play a key role. Behind these digital chips is the hardware acceleration of a large number of algorithms. The essence of the algorithm is mathematical operation, the most complex mathematical operation is nonlinear function calculation. So the proposed research question is how to improve the universality of nonlinear function VLSI design without affecting the performance and efficiency? It is a challenge.<\/p>\n
