Floating Point Math.h Algorithmic Functions for FPGA Devices

Posted by Ken Cheung in Tool on Thursday, February 18, 2010

Impulse Accelerated Technologies increased the accessibility of Xilinx Virtex and Spartan devices by providing common math.h functions. Unlike math.h functions that run “native” in embedded processors, the Impulse library is implemented directly in FPGA hardware, and supports refactoring into multiple, pipelined parallel processes for algorithmic acceleration so the math.h functions operate two to ten faster [...]
