CORDIC Algorithm

CO-ordinate Rotation DIgital Computer (CORDIC)CORDIC algorithm algorithm brings revolution in the field of computer arithmetic. Arithmetic, trigonometric, hyperbolic and many other functions can be computed by this algorithm. In order to optimize design performance, researchers are using CORDIC algorithm in many fields such as DSP, image processing, communication or in industrial sectors. In 1956, CORDIC algorithm was conceived by Volder [74] thus sometimes it is called as Volder’s algorithm. CORDIC algorithm paved the way for computing several functions by same hardware in an iterative fashion. Later several researchers polished and optimized the CORDIC algorithm for different applications.
