| contents | This paper describes our experience developing polynomial approximations for trigonometric functions that produce correctly rounded results for multiple representations and rounding modes using the RLIBM approach. A key challenge with trigonometric functions concerns range reduction with "pi", which reduces a given input in the domain of a 32-bit float to a small domain. Any rounding error in the value of "pi" is amplified during range reduction, which can result in wrong results. We describe our experience implementing fast range reduction techniques that maintain a large number of bits of "pi" both with floating-point and integer computations. The resulting implementations for trigonometric functions are fast and produce correctly rounded results for all inputs for multiple representations up to 32-bits with a single implementation. |
