Rapid Prototyping of FPGA Based Floating Point DSP Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
A system for the rapid prototyping of floating point hardware designs is presented. This system, called Float, consists of a floating point class for the simulation of quantization effects associated with low precision floating point operators; an optimizer which can automatically determine the minimal number of exponent and fraction bits required for a specified degree of accuracy; and a parameterized floating point library which can generate floating point operators with arbitrary precision. A digital sine-cosine generator is used as an example.

FPGA-based Prototyping of IEEE 802.11a Baseband Processor
Abstract: In technical literature and especially in domestic, predominant way to examine performance of 802.11a-based systems are experiments in simulations. In this paper, we present FPGA based 802.11a prototype, which gave us a possibility to gain closer insight into the problems of OFDM system implementation. A specific design of baseband modem physical layer is discussed, along with the pre...

1 This work was sponsored in part by ARPA under grant DAAH04-94-G-0004 Abstract This paper discusses the design and development of a general-purpose programmable DSP subsystem packaged in a multichip module. The subsystem contains a 32-bit floating-point programmable DSP processor along with 256 K-byte of SRAM, 128 K-byte of FLASH memory, 10 K-gate FPGA and a 6-channel 12-bit ADC. The complete ...
متن کاملPROTOTYPING EMBEDDED DSP SYSTEMS − FROM SPECIFICATION TO IMPLEMENTATION (ThuPmOR3)
When embedding DSP systems, a designer must meet not only functional but also many other requirements, such as low resource requirements, real−time constraints and low power consumption. The design flow used in prototyping such systems usually includes high−level languages for specification capture and then involves a number of tradi−tional steps until the system is synthesized. Those steps oft...
متن کاملFloating-point DSP Design Flow and Performance on Altera 28-nm FPGAs
OVERVIEW FPGAs are increasingly used as parallel processing engines for demanding digital signal processing applications. Benchmark results show that on highly parallelizable workloads, FPGAs can achieve higher performance and superior cost/performance compared to digital signal processors (DSPs) and general-purpose CPUs. However, to date, FPGAs have been used almost exclusively for fixed-point...
