Assume that in a arithmetic unit design the hardware


Question: Assume that in a arithmetic unit design, the hardware implements an iterative approximation algorithm that generates two additional accurate mantissa bits of the result for the sin() function in each clock cycle. The architect decided to allow the arithmetic function to iterate nine clock cycles. Assume that the hardware fill in all remaining mantissa bits are 0. What would be the maximal ULP error of the hardware implementation of the sin() function in this design for the IEEE single-precision numbers? Assume that the omitted "1." mantissa bit must also be generated by the arithmetic unit.
