Developing fixed-point algorithm descriptions used to require tradeoffs between design functionality, modeling of numerical precision, and validation (simulation) speed. Now, a new class of C++ ...

The need to combine performance with low power consumption in edge-compute applications has driven demand for FPGAs to be used as power-efficient accelerators while also providing flexibility and ...

Using a design flow put together by Mentor Graphics and Altera, designers can implement complex DSP algorithms in high-performance FPGAs directly from ANSI C++ code. The flow, which is based on Altera ...

A common use case for high-level synthesis (HLS) is taking 3rd party generated or legacy C/C++ algorithms and converting the algorithm to a hardware implementation using an HLS compiler. This can ...

Developers now have new tools for building bit-true behavior in C++ for algorithm systems and hardware. And the new data types operate at simulation speeds 10 to 200 times faster than traditional ...

Digital filtering of non-real-time signals has been performed for decades. The increased performance in today's silicon allows for these calculations to be accomplished in real-time, if the right ...

SystemC Modelling is an emerging technology used for SoC Verification and termed as Virtual Platforms. Virtual platforms are Simulation Environment of the SoC. SystemC is a high level language and the ...
