A technique for the evaluation of a general continuous function f(x) is presented, and the design of an interpolating memory as an implementation of the technique is described. The technique partitions the domain of f(x) into segments and defines an interpolating (or approximating) function for each. The implementation is a memory subsystem that holds the parameters of the approximating functio
