%X Automated search in the form of the Covariance Matrix Adaptation  Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES), plus manual code changes, transforms 512 Newton-Raphson floating point start numbers from an  open source GNU C library, glibc, table driven square root function  to create a new bespoke custom mathematical implementation of  double precision binary logarithm log2 for C in seconds.
