I think fpus still do for things like trig functions. Doing it using a power series potentially gives bad results and takes a long time to get enough accuracy. I think it was pretty common to use lookup tables in various algorithms back then since it was way faster to do a memory access and then some interpolation or just a memory access than to do a bunch of calculations. |
