Table-driven implementation of the logarithm function in IEEE floating-point arithmetic

Ping-Tak Peter Tang · ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software · 1990

Algorithms and implementation details for the logarithm functions in both single and double precision of IEEE 754 arithmetic are presented here. With a table of moderate size, the implementation need only working- precision arithmetic and are provably accurate to within 0.57 ulp.
