Abstract
A system for evaluating a piecewise linear function includes a first look-up table with N entries, and a second look-up table with M entries, with M being less than N. Each of the N entries contains parameters that define a corresponding linear segment of the piecewise linear function. The system further includes a controller configured to store a subset of the N entries from the first look-up table in the second look-up table. The system further includes a classifier for receiving an input value and classifying the input value in one of a plurality of segments of a number line. A total number of the segments is equal to M, and the segments are non-overlapping and contiguous. The system further includes a multiplexor for selecting one of the M entries of the second look-up table based on the classification of the input value into one of the plurality of segments.
