Two algos that calculate arcsin(x) in the range x=0 ... 0.5. The first one, Arcsinus(), uses Raymond's tutorial (http://www.ray.masmcode.com/tutorial/fpuchap10.htm), the second algo uses FastMath with Arcsinus() values:
FastMath ArcSin ; define a math function
For_ fct=0.0 To 1.0 Step 0.0001
fld fct
fstp REAL10 ptr [edi]
void Arcsinus(fct)
fstp REAL10 ptr [edi+REAL10]
add edi, 2*REAL10
Next
FastMath
May I have some timings please?

also wonder how the oldschool raycasting optimization stand compared to this:an arccos LUT? :biggrin:
I have a general SSE trigo PROC thats untested,just input 4 floats and offset value that controls which set of constants it points to it,so it become different taylor series
@Marinus
I thought you underclock it because it would be a bigger challenge to optimize it to run on slower cpu :badgrin:
AMIGA clock speed today would really challenging :biggrin:
@Magnus
Still miss the Amiga days, banging directly to the hardware was a lot of fun.

Did you call ArcSinInit before ShowCpu? Normally the Init macro takes care of all that, but my timings template keeps the option open to run it without MasmBasic, so I chose the
ifdef MbBufferInit instead.

Essentially is the code you posted. The MasmBasic book is not so clear :biggrin:
BTW FastMath name sound nice, but is a little misleading. Perhaps MathLUT or something like that, because is a look up table creation macro, not fast calculation. :thumbsup:

If it gives you a factor 8-12 faster math, then the name is not

Not relly.
I'm thinking the equations (without presition acount) :
- Time_of_building_per_access = Time_to_build_table/Number_of_accesses_per_program
- FactorJJ = Time_of_calculation/(Time_of_access + Time_of_building_per_access)
Indiference point is replacing around 25250 calculations. In this point factor is 1.
It takes one millisecond to build the table, Héctor. The more complex the mathematical function is, the more you can gain with FastMath :cool:

But if you make tables in Workerthread, while windows main thread creates and loads lot of things when it starts,you wouldn't notice the milliseconds it takes for make one or several tables

Yes, you need even more time to prepare for the game :biggrin:
Tables like this are very usefull in games because you don't need presition.

Indeed you have some profit after 50504 table access (almost double of indiference point)

Ok, put Step 0.5 in ArcSinInit and do your optimisation again :badgrin:
Quote from: jj2007 on December 23, 2020, 08:46:08 AM
Ok, put Step 0.02 in ArcSinInit and do your optimisation again :badgrin:
I you don't need any precition you just could put any number as a solution, that could be even faster :biggrin:
If you don't need precision, check if it's still good enough with Step 0.5:
ArcSinInit:
NanoTimer()
FastMath ArcSin ; define a math function
For_ fct=0.0 To 1.0 Step 0.1
fld fct
fstp REAL10 ptr [edi]
void Arcsinus(fct)
fstp REAL10 ptr [edi+REAL10]
add edi, 2*REAL10
Next
FastMath
PrintLine NanoTimer$(), " for initialising the FastMath macro"
For_ fct=0.05 To 1.0 Step 0.1 ; compare the exact value with the estimate
PrintLine Str$("%3f\t", fct), Str$("%9f\t", Arcsinus(fct)v), Str$("%9f", ArcSin(fct)v)
Next

Internally, FastMath uses SetPoly3 (http://www.jj2007.eu/MasmBasicQuickReference.htm#Mb1124). It's a fairly sophisticated LUT :cool:
Hi JJ!
With step= 0.1 you can have an absolute error= 5.6 x 100 (relative error is 9.6% in that point). That is very big, especially compared with usual default: absolute error = 1.0 x 10-6.
Then first you have to find step size for presicion you need, and second you have to choose between direct calculation or table depending on number of access to solution.
Regards. HSE
Right, 9.6% is quite big. Use 0.01 instead, the table gets created in less than 100 microseconds, and the error is 1% max.
If that is not precise enough, go for 0.001:

well if you use trigo later for drawing in this 64bit era,wouldnt fixed point table be faster alternative,even 32bit support MUL that results in 32bit in eax,32bit in edx?also DIV use both 32bit registers?

it's best to make optimisation and timings also in practical uses,whole tunnel(stargate),sphere(planet) code,float to int conversion take not only some cycles,mixing SSE floating point code and SSE 2 integer code you get some penalty
For example circle , can be from 32x32 sprite to big hires 4k hd screen, 32 diameter* pi vs 1080 diameter * pi, so a general 360 degree LUT, works best for 360 pixel circle, too many for 32diameter and too few for 1080 diameter
