Cosh

Function Acosh

The Acosh function computes an inverse hyperbolic cosine (nonnegative).

Performance:

	Default processor	Pentium® III processor	Pentium® 4 processor	Itanium® processor
vsAcosh (HA version)	149.2	43.6	31.3	13.3
vdAcosh (HA version)	111.4	111.4	88.3	18.5

Notes:
1) Units - CPE (Clocks per Element)
2) Performance was measured on "working" interval (double precision: [3.25,1e+154]; single precision: [3.5,1e+19])
3) Data - vectors of 1000 elements with random generated numbers
4) "Default" means X87 code for all IA-32 processors
5) Performance of "default" version was measured on Pentium® III processor

Notes:
1) *        X87 code for all processors
2) **      Pentium® III processor
3) ***    Pentium® 4 processor
4) **** Itanium® processor
5) Logarithmic scale is used for "Vectors Size" axis

Maximal observed error for the whole function domain:

	Default processor	Pentium® III processor	Pentium® 4 processor	Itanium® processor
vsAcosh (HA version)	0.50	0.88	0.88	0.51
vdAcosh (HA version)	0.75	0.75	0.75	0.52

Notes:
1) Units - ULP (Units in The Last Place)
