Title
A Fast Hardware Approach for Approximate, Efficient Logarithm and Antilogarithm Computations
Abstract
The realization of functions such as log() and antilog() in hardware is of considerable relevance, due to their importance in several computing applications. In this paper, we present an approach to compute log() and antilog() in hardware. Our approach is based on a table lookup, followed by an interpolation step. The interpolation step is implemented in combinational logic, in a field-programmabl...
