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 first step, algorithm design, is usually done in C or C++, where the high-level code that describes how the system will function is created. To be implemented in hardware, this high-level code ...

This article will discuss the optimization techniques we used for making a pattern-matching and image-processing algorithm reusable on a Texas Instruments Inc. DSP. This C++ algorithm ran on a PC ...

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 ...

Most OO practitioners recognize the value of Design by Contract as a methodology for improving software quality. It is at the heart of the Eiffel language and the Object Constraint Language of UML.

Microchip has released a C++ algorithm high-level synthesis design workflow for its PolarFire FPGAs. “A large majority of edge compute, computer vision and industrial control algorithms are developed ...
