SinCos

Function SinCos

The SinCos function computes a sine and cosine.

Performance:

	Default processor	Intel® Pentium® III processor	Intel® Pentium® 4 processor	Intel® Pentium® 4 processor with Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3)	Intel® Itanium® 2 processor
vsSinCos (HA version)	66.73	66.41	26.10	35.05	8.21
vdSinCos (HA version)	81.43	80.57	62.02	62.61	11.24

Notes:
1) Units - CPE (Clocks per Element)
2) Performance was measured on "working" interval (double precision: [-1,1]; single precision: [-1,1] )
3) Data - vectors of 1000 elements with random generated numbers
4) "Default" means X87 code for all IA-32 processors
5) Performance of "default" version was measured on Intel® Pentium® III processor

Notes:
1) *           X87 code for all processors
2) **         Intel® Pentium® III processor
3) ***       Intel® Pentium® 4 processor
4) ****     Intel® Pentium® 4 processor with Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3)
5) ***** Intel® Itanium® 2 processor
6) Logarithmic scale is used for "Vectors Size" axis

Maximal observed error for the whole function domain:

	Default processor	Pentium III processor	Pentium 4 processor	Pentium 4 processor with SSE3	Itanium 2 processor
vsSinCos (HA version)	0.5621	0.5621	0.5621	0.5621	0.5017
vdSinCos (HA version)	0.8201	0.8201	0.5187	0.5367	0.5005

Notes:
1) Units - ULP (Units in The Last Place)

Special values:
