1// nx_alu_divider_newton.nx -- MULTIPLICATIVE (Newton-Raphson reciprocal) divider: 2// the ~log(W) latency FRONTIER the radix-2/radix-4 dividers are LAPPED by (~5x). 3// 4// q = floor(N/D) via a fixed-point reciprocal R ~ F/D (F = 2^k) refined by 5// Newton's iteration x_{i+1} = x_i*(2F - D*x_i) / F , which DOUBLES the correct 6// bits per step (quadratic convergence) -> ceil(log2 W) iterations, vs W (radix-2) 7// or W/2 (radix-4) compare-subtract stages. Each iteration is 2 multiplies, so 8// full-width (64b) it composes the TRIANGULATED nx_mul_wide (each product needs 9// >64 bits -- which is exactly why the wide multiplier was the prerequisite). 10// 11// This module PROVES the math + the log(W) iteration count at a provable width 12// (W=16, products fit i64), TRIANGULATED by three independent methods that must 13// agree: (A) Newton, (B) an independent restoring shift-subtract divider, (C) the 14// i64 oracle `/`. It also measures the post-Newton correction so the latency is 15// honestly O(iterations)+O(1), not a hidden long loop. license_tier: ORIGINAL 16 17import "nx_syscalls.nx" 18const NW_MAGIC_8191: i64 = 8191 19const NW_MAGIC_2463534242: i64 = 2463534242 20const NW_MAGIC_200000: i64 = 200000 21const NW_MAGIC_65535: i64 = 65535 22const NW_MAGIC_32768: i64 = 32768 23const NW_MAGIC_12345: i64 = 12345 24 25const NW_W: i64 = 16 26const NW_F: i64 = 65536 // 2^16 fixed-point scale (Q16) 27const NW_FF: i64 = 4294967296 // F*F = 2^32 28const NW_ITERS: i64 = 3 // linear seed (~4 bits) doubled 3x -> ~32 bits >> 16 29const NW_LCG_A: i64 = 6364136223846793005 30const NW_LCG_C: i64 = 1442695040888963407 31 32func _emit_num(v: i64) -> i64 { 33 let b: *u8 = sys_mmap(28); var n: i64 = v; if n < 0 { n = 0 - n } 34 let t2: *u8 = sys_mmap(28); var t: i64 = 0 35 if n == 0 { t2[0] = 48; t = 1 } 36 while n > 0 { t2[t] = 48 + (n % 10); n = n / 10; t = t + 1 } 37 var i: i64 = 0; while i < t { b[i] = t2[t - 1 - i]; i = i + 1 } 38 b[t] = 32; sys_write(1, b, t + 1); return 0 39} 40func _nl() -> i64 { let z: *u8 = sys_mmap(2); z[0] = 10; sys_write(1, z, 1); return 0 } 41 42// MSB position p such that 2^p <= d < 2^(p+1) (d >= 1) 43func msb_pos(d: i64) -> i64 { 44 var p: i64 = 0 45 while (1 << (p + 1)) <= d { p = p + 1 } 46 return p 47} 48 49// LEG A -- Newton reciprocal divide.
