Overview of a compiler for synthesizing MATLAB programs onto FPGAs.

This paper describes a behavioral synthesis tool called AccelFPGA which reads in high-level descriptions of digital signal processing (DSP) applications written in MATLAB, and automatically generates synthesizable register transfer level (RTL) models and simulation testbenches in VHDL or Verilog. Th...
