Abstract:
In an embodiment, a computation engine may offload a processor (e.g. a CPU) and efficiently perform transcendental functions. The computation engine may implement a range instruction that may be included in a program being executed by the CPU. The CPU may dispatch the range instruction to the computation engine. The range instruction may take an input operand (that is to be evaluated in a transcendental function, for example) and may reference a range table that defines a set of ranges for the transcendental function. The range instruction may identify one of the set of ranges that includes the input operand. For example, the range instruction may output an interval number identifying which interval of an overall set of valid input values contains the input operand. In an embodiment, the range instruction may take an input vector operand and output a vector of interval identifiers.

Claim (Index 1):
A system comprising:\n a processor configured to fetch a first instruction and to issue the first instruction to a compute engine; the compute engine coupled to the processor, wherein:\n the compute engine includes a first memory storing data, during use, that defines a plurality of intervals of values for an input value; \n the compute engine is configured to identify at most one interval of the plurality of intervals that contains an input operand value of the first instruction, responsive to the first instruction; \n the compute engine is configured to write an interval number corresponding to the at most one interval to a target memory location of the range instruction; and \n in the event that none of the plurality of intervals contains the input operand value, the compute engine is configured to write an interval number that does not correspond to any of the plurality of intervals.
