Can anyone provide the data about the latency for sine and cosine single precision functions from math.h lib on Cyclone III, possibly Cyclone II, with floating point hardware acceleration (hardware d...

Honored Contributor --- Quote Start --- If you have integrated the custom FP instruction with the Nios II Processor (in the SOPC Builder), then you have no particular things to do to enable it, it is automatic. Personnaly I have used it for a project (for the computation of the arctan function) and I have seen a difference. Are you sure that you are using float variables and not double ? Check the "Floating-Point Instructions" part of the Nios II Processor Reference Handbook for the details, maybe you have missed something. --- Quote End --- I have run the test code from Altera Only + - * work well with FPU. Divide doesn't work:mad: I did tick the optional divider. All math functions don't work too. I have tried sinf(). No difference.
