flatmush 0317f964f4 Added option to replace sin function with ~384KiB look-up table for fastest and most accurate results.
Added tool to generate sin tables.
Tests indicate that using a lut is still ~2.1% out from sinf so it's very possible that our sin function is more accurate than the libmath sinf function on the computer I'm testing with. In which case the accuracy results are offset by that amount.

flatmush 10c82e1c17 Fixed a minor error in previous commit where the wrong function name is printed. 2011-02-25 12:09:55 +00:00
flatmush 8cbe9b3f9b Added fix16_exp currently using the Taylor Series algorithm off Wikipedia, if anyone can optimize this better then go ahead.
Modified fixtest to be a little more generic, can now easily change which function it tests.

flatmush 3fc97475e1 Added multi-pass approach to fixtest, now produces more accurate results. On x86 with an FPU and full optimization fixed point is about 20% slower than floating point.
The multi-pass approach means that this test should run unmodified on embedded environments due to lower memory usage, this test also more realistically tests for cache behaviour.

flatmush a9ff155dcc Minor fix regarding printf format in fixtest. 2011-02-24 16:57:54 +00:00
flatmush edce6d699e Fixed an obvious bug, error was reported at 65536 times the correct value, real value for error is between 0.0060% and 0.0085%.
Changed default values to more sensible ones, though iter will need to be lowered if run on an embedded environment.

flatmush d3482256c2 Added a small program called fixtest which currently tests performance and average error on x86 platforms, currently it produces quite wildly varying results depending on the input values.
The average error seems to vary between 3-8%, it's possible that setting iter to a higher value (and pass to a lower one) could give a more stable value.
Fixed point seems to be slower overall on x86 (50% of float) with good floating point hardware, however with the caching enabled depending on the program the fixed point implementation may be much faster (as float would be if cached).

With caching enabled there is a massive difference between and iter size below and above 4096, this is because the caching mechanism thrashes above this threshold, it probably makes sense to disable caching for these tests by compiling libfixmath with FIXMATH_NO_CACHE.
