ABSTRACT:
Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture for performing calculations using reduced-width data are disclosed. In particular, an example method determines reduced-width data values associated with generating and evaluating functions. Some of the reduced-width data values are stored within instructions in an instruction memory during a compile phase and retrieved from instruction memory during a runtime phase.
