Polynomial Evaluation on Superscalar Architecture, Applied to the Elementary Function e(x)

Felix Schürmann, Francesco Cremonesi, Timothée Ewart, Fabien Jonathan Delalondre

The evaluation of small degree polynomials is critical for the computation of elementary functions. It has been extensively studied and is well documented. In this article, we evaluate existing methods for polynomial evaluation on superscalar architecture. ...
