The implementation process starts with a "'logic minimization "'phase, to be described below, in order to simplify the function table by combining the separate terms into larger ones containing fewer variables.

The input for ESPRESSO is a function table of the desired functionality; the result is a minimized table, describing either the ON-cover or the OFF-cover of the function, depending on the selected options.

This solved the problem of the programmers having to unplug and replug patch cables for every program the machine was to run; instead the program was entered on the three function tables, which had previously been used only for storage of a trajectory's drag function.

This technique is used in some microcontrollers, including the Atmel AVR . This allows constant data, such as text strings or function tables, to be accessed without first having to be copied into data memory, preserving scarce ( and power-hungry ) data memory for read / write variables.

ENIAC was designed by John Mauchly and J . Presper Eckert of the University of Pennsylvania, U . S . The team of design engineers assisting the development included Robert F . Shaw ( function tables ), Jeffrey Chuan Chu ( divider / square-rooter ), Thomas Kite Sharpless ( master programmer ), Frank Mural ( master programmer ), Arthur Burks ( multiplier ), Harry Huskey ( reader / printer ) and Jack Davis ( accumulators ).

The following year, she published a book with a colleague, Mark Konstantinovich Gavurin, which was a series of Bessel function tables and her most famous work, " Computational methods of linear algebra ", which was one of the first of its kind in the field . | group = " notes " } } The book described linear algebra, gave methods for solving linear equations and the inversion of matrices, and explained computing square roots and eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix.
