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 ...

To implement algorithms, digital-signal-processing (DSP) developers have had to rely upon design flows that use manual approaches. Aside from being time consuming, the manual process can invite errors ...

Computer programming may seem like magic these days, but most programs are built from conceptual steps that use visual aids to work out how the program needs to flow. Each function of a program can be ...

[Editor's note: For an intro to floating-point math, see Tutorial: Floating-point arithmetic on FPGAs. For a comparison of fixed- and floating-point hardware, see Fixed vs. floating point: a ...

Altera and Mentor Graphics' Catapult C synthesis group have collaborated to help system architects squeeze the most performance out of the DSP blocks Altera includes in its Cyclone II, Cyclone III, ...

Historically, exploiting FPGA or ASIC implementation of DSP algorithms has been the domain of companies with highly-skilled designers and large budgets. Now, a new generation of tools is bringing ...

Many electronics and digital products use digital signal processing (DSP)algorithms in them. Before any algorithm gets into theproduct, an optimization process is appliedto it. The optimizationprocess ...

Java programmers use data structures to store and organize data, and we use algorithms to manipulate the data in those structures. The more you understand about data structures and algorithms, and how ...

The objective of this paper is to provide a high-level process of designing and implementing an Audio Algorithm, specifically written for Soc’s multi-core, low-power audio processing DSP processors.
