US Patent 11520562 System to perform unary functions using range-specific coefficient sets

A method comprising storing a plurality of entries, each entry of the plurality of entries associated with a portion of a range of input values, each entry of the plurality of entries comprising a set of coefficients defining a power series approximation; selecting first entry of the plurality of entries based on a determination that a floating point input value is within a portion of the range of input values that is associated with the first entry; and calculating an output value by evaluating the power series approximation defined by the set of coefficients of the first entry at the floating point input value.
