  • Evaluating a mathematical function in a computational environment
    Patent number: 11983510
    Abstract: Apparatus for evaluating a mathematical function for a received input value includes a polynomial block configured to identify a domain interval containing the received input value over which the mathematical function can be evaluated, the mathematical function over the identified interval being approximated by a polynomial function; and evaluate the polynomial function for the received input value using a set of one or more stored values representing the polynomial function over the identified interval to calculate a first evaluation of the mathematical function for the received input value; and a CORDIC block for performing a CORDIC algorithm, configured to initialise the CORDIC algorithm using the first evaluation of the mathematical function for the received input value calculated by the polynomial block; and implement the CORDIC algorithm to calculate a refined evaluation of the mathematical function for the received input value.
