Abstract
Linear interpolation is performed within a memory system. The memory system receives a floating-point point index into an integer-indexed memory array. The memory system accesses the two values of the two adjacent integer indices, performs the linear interpolation, and provides the resulting interpolated value. In many system architectures, the critical limitation on system performance is the data transfer rate between memory and processing elements. Accordingly, reducing the amount of data transferred improves overall system performance and reduces power consumption.
