TOXOS: A RISC-V Coprocessor for Non Linear Function Acceleration
2026-06-10 , Poster Island C

The growing demand for near-sensor processing exposes a gap: nonlinear activation functions still fall back on the host CPU, incurring energy and latency penalties. We present TOXOS, a RISC-V CORDIC coprocessor tightly integrated into X-HEEP via the Core-V eXtension Interface, achieving up to 27× speedup over a hardware FPU (CVFPU) with minimal area overhead.
