Abstract
Processor architectures and associated methods provide interruptible, instruction-based trigonometric function computation based on CORDIC iterations, receiving and outputting floating-point values (e.g., 64-bit). The architectures and methods can provide multiple CORDIC-like iterations in as little as a single CPU processing cycle to provide an overall faster execution of trigonometric operations while having zero additional overhead for service of time-critical interrupts. Post interrupt service, a CORDIC operation can be resumed from where it was interrupted.
