Abstract

This paper discusses ongoing research into the design and development of custom configurable hardware using a field programmable gate array. In particular, Newton's Method for finding roots of polynomials is investigated, and the solutions using both software and hardware techniques are presented and compared. The Principle of Equivalence of Hardware and Software for this method is verified.
