| Feb 5, 2017 at 13:10 | comment | added | Peter Green | Also having tables is not a problem per-se, what is a problem is having tables in memory that is not constant-time. | |
| Feb 5, 2017 at 7:08 | comment | added | user3201068 | @MaartenBodewes Hardware implementations usually use boolean logic to save gate area, so it likely was lapsed from the technical writer's mind. AFAIK most FPGAs use table implementations. | |
| Feb 4, 2017 at 16:27 | comment | added | Maarten Bodewes♦ | "and since all the computations are performed internally by the hardware, no lookup tables are required" ... that's worded strangely. You can use or forgo tables in either hardware or software. | |
