Russian term
Logarifmirovanie + potencirovanie
Russian to English
Tech/Engineering
For those who asked for additional context:
"Matematicheskii processor uskoriaet funkcii logarifmirovania, potenciirovania, operatcii s vektorami, figurami... etc.... v neskolko raz po sravneniu s universalnym processorom".
I was hoping someone might either confirm or disprove my choice of English terms (taking the log and taking the antilog). To those who quoted reference materials - THANKS!

Complete confirmation
I can only confirm your choice of taking log and taking antilog though you can find other variants. For example though rather a good A.J. Lohwater's Russian-English Dictionary of Mathematical Sciences offers not the best of possible translations. Other sources are better.
Good luck!

The mathematical
processor speeds up the log and delog functions...

taking the logarithm + exponentiating
Hi Yuri,
In this context you can use, e.g. ... the mathematical processor accelerates by several times (makes several times faster) both taking logarithms and exponentiating if one compares it with an universal porcessor...
One other advice is to connect directly to a prof in math&compsci (eg, look to description of members). Lohwater is not absolutely avtoritative in some cases since it is dedicated mostly to the pure part of maths.

finding logarithms and antilogarithms
Your translation is correct. I pluralized the nouns, since one does this in English to suggest greater generality.

taking the logarithm; exponentiating

I'd suggest to change a sentnece structure a bit in order to properly introduce that first "taking the l...". Or boldly introduce "logarithming" to pair with "exponentiating".
