How to provide better quality care with fewer resources.

Floating-Point Compiler: Increasing Performance With Fewer Resources

Showing new levels of high-performance, high-density, IEEE754-compliant floating-point applications in FPGAs is the focus of this white paper. A new tool is introduced that will allow 100 percent of the floating-point capability of the FPGA device to be used. Combined with the rich DSP resources and advanced routing fabrics of the most recent Altera® FPGAs, unprecedented performance numbers are...
