Computing non-linear functions using a non-uniform allocation of linear polynomial functions

Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for computing non-linear functions. Aspects include dividing a range associated with input data for a non-linear function into a plurality of input segments. Aspects include slicing the plurality of input segments into a plurality of slices, wherein each slice corresponds to a different subset of the plurality of input segments. Aspects include allocating a plurality of polynomial functions to the plurality of slices in a non-uniform manner. Aspects include computing, based on the allocating, the non-linear function using the plurality of polynomial functions.
