Implement Lookup Tables in MATLAB

Replace computationally-intense functions with lookup tables

Lookup tables are an efficient way to write computationally-intense functions for fixed-point embedded devices. For example, you can efficiently implement logarithm, sine, cosine, tangent, and square-root using lookup tables.
