5.4.6 Lookup Operation

Once the table is properly configured, copied to L1D, and arranged for C7x layout, the lookup operation itself is straightforward. This VCOP Kernel-C statement:

Vdst = base[Agen].lookup(Vindex);

translates to:

LUTRD LTBR0,Vindex_adj

where LTCR0 specifies the table configuration and Vindex_adj represents the adjusted index vector as described in Section 5.5.5.

The table configuration handles promotion of the table elements to 32-bits and interpolation (where multiple consecutive elements are returned for each index).

The lookup operation is implemented by the vcop_lookup::lookup() method of the virtual machine.
