Abstract

A method for conserving memory storage during the execution of a interpolation operation uses a pool of interpolation commands. When a interpolation operation is requested, it is performed using one of the pooled interpolation commands. If none of the pooled interpolation commands are available, the interpolation command having the smallest difference between its interpolated value and final value is selected, and its interpolated value converted to its final value. The selected interpolation command is then reassigned to interpolate the requested data.
