ABSTRACT:
An LNS-based computer processor is provided for performing high-speed calculations that involve special function values. Special functions include transcendental and hyperbolic functions. The computer processor includes a decoder (11), a memory circuit (12) for storing a plurality of special function signals, a log converter (14), at least one processing element (16), and an inverse-log converter (18).
