ИСТИНА

An apparatus generally having a first circuit, a second circuit and a third circuit is disclosed. The first circuit may be configured to generate a plurality of first signals carrying (i) a maximum value among a plurality of input values and (ii) a plurality of difference values based on the input values. The second circuit may be configured to generate a plurality of second signals carrying a plurality of intermediate values based on the difference values. The intermediate values are generally respective powers of two. The third circuit may be configured to generate a third signal carrying an output value by adding the maximum value and the intermediate values. The output value may be a Jacobian logarithm computation of the input values.
