Abstract
This work aims at designing a o ating-point exponential function using the table-driven method. The algorithm was rst implemented using sequential VHDL and later translated to concurrent Verilo g. The main part of the work consisted of creating modules that would hand le basic IEE-754 single precision number manipulation routines such as addition, multiplication, and rounding to nearest integer. Using these routines, a model was implemented based on the table-driven algorithm. The VHDL design, as well l as the V erilo gdesign, wer esimulated and the results proved to be satisfactory. Synthesis was performed using CMOSIS5 technology on the VHDL code and yielde da fairly large r esult.
