Abstract
In a method and apparatus for performing plural matrix multiplication operations that involve a variable (X) and two coefficients (a), (b), each entry of a look-up table is constructed to correspond to a value of the variable (X) and to have first and second data fields that store coded products associated with the coefficients (a), (b). When the variable (X) is used to address the look-up table, the coded products in the first and second data fields of an addressed one of the entries are generated at first and second outputs of the look-up table, respectively. A decoder processes the coded products from the first and second outputs of the look-up tables, such as by performing arithmetic combining operations, to obtain the results of the matrix multiplication operations.
