Exponential function is very important to evaluate activation functions (Sigmoid, hyperbolic tangent, SoftMax etc.) used in machine learning (ML) algorithms. Thus, efficient hardware implementation of exponential function very important. In this post, we have discussed detailed FPGA Implementation of Taylor Series Based Exponential function. Many techniques are reported in literature to compute exponential function. Taylor […]

Efficient Architecture for Exponential

DR. SHIRSHENDU ROY / 5th January 2022 / Uncategorized

In the previous post, we have discussed the theory for computation of exponential and discussed about its hardware architecture. In this post, we will discuss an alternative architecture to compute the exponential. If we examine the equations which evaluate the exponential function, then we can see that is multiplied by or . In the previous

Computation of Exponential Function

DR. SHIRSHENDU ROY / 3rd January 2022 / Uncategorized

Signal processing algorithms sometimes involve computation of exponential. Thus it is important to implement the exponential function. In this work, design of digital hardware for exponential function is discussed. Like other elementary functions, exponential function is also computed using the iterative formulas. In this work, computation of the exponential function is shown for three cases.
