The distributor claimed the development kit will allow users to build and test models in Simulink and automatically generate HDL code for Kintex-7 FPGAs, which “will let engineers focus more on their ...

MILPITAS, Calif. — AccelChip has crafted a DSP synthesis tool that converts algorithms developed in MATLAB into synthesizable RTL that can be used during the design of FPGAs, ASICs and structured ...

MathWorks has coupled its MATLAB design tool more closely to FPGA design. It has introduced a software tool which automatically generates HDL code from MATLAB for implementing FPGA and Asic designs ...

The wall between algorithm development and hardware implementation is slowly disintegrating. One of the driving forces behind this trend is the integration of MATLAB, the most popular algorithm ...

In a move described as a 'significant enhancement' to its product range, MathWorks has launched HDL Coder, which allows HDL code to be generated directly from MATLAB and used to implement fpgas and ...

Abstract: In order to make undergraduates master a hardware implementation of digital filters, we take the design of a parallel FIR digital low-pass filter as a teaching case, which can present the ...

Although we see a lot of MATLAB use in industry and in academia, it isn’t as popular in the hacker community. That’s probably due to the cost. If you’ve ever wondered why companies will pay over $2000 ...

Most of the algorithms implemented in FPGAs used to be fixed-point. Floating-point operations are useful for computations involving large dynamic range, but they require significantly more resources ...

In a recent survey conducted by AccelChip Inc. (recently acquired by Xilinx), 53% of the respondents identified floating- to fixed-point conversion as the most difficult aspect of implementing an ...
