hpcos - EP2 Mac0328

Taking advantage of pthreads (for concurrency) and GMP (for precision) this lib aims to provide a high speed and very precise calculation of cos(x).

Usage

Usage:
        $ ./hpcos t (f|m) p x d?

Params:
t:      Number of threads to be used. If 0, uses
        t = #cores.

f|m:    Method for checking the precision.

p:      Precision. If in 'f' mode, for a value of
        110, stops when delta < 10exp(-110). If
        in 'm', stops when a thread calculates a
        term that is less than the given value.

x:      Value to be calculated (radians).

d:      Debug mode (optional).

f mode

stops when the absolute difference between two consecutive values is less than a precision p specified, that is, when the sum of all of the contributions is less than the specified.

m mode

stops when the absolute contribution of a term from a thread is less than 10^(-p)

Install

Basic:

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ ./src/main (args)

Tests included:

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -Dtest=ON ..
$ make
$ make test
$ ./src/main (args)

ps.: If you wish to debug and etc i recommend switching to clang++ when compiling. To do so:

export CXX=/usr/bin/clang++

before running cmake -Dtest=ON ...

For debug builds don't forge to add -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. Realease builds with DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release.
