[100 points]
Teams: Form groups of 4 each. Email Chi with the team name and members.
Task:
Using the ARM simulator (ARMSim), write code that computes sinh(x), cosh(x), and ex of 32 bit IEEE-754 floating point numbers without using ARM multiplier. There will be extra credit for any additional functions you generate.
Proposed steps:
Read a number from memory (store any constants in memory)
Computer sinh(x)
Computer cosh(x)
Computer ex
Store result (and anything else interesting) in memory
Determine how may computer cycles it took.
