RE: [oc] What kind of Algorithm level code can be synthesised?

I think you might be interested in using SystemC - a high level language.
Check out their web page  ( www.systemc.org ).  Using HDL is a way but very
cumbersome to deal w/ algorithmic designs.  People are searching for the
right system level language to handle design like you have described.

Hope this helps.

Hello, everyone:

	I am puzzling at what kind of algorithm level hdl code can be synthesised
and what kind of them can not?
	For example, designing FFT/IFFT processor, can i directly transfer C
algorithm to hdl algorithm level description (behavior) and then let it be
synthesised, or it can not be synthesised? For i think the Radix 4 and split
Radix algorithm is complex and synthesis tools can not build specific memory
and registers and control logic for them. How do you think about?
	And another example, designing FIR or IIR, i think whether i can only use
formula to construct the algorithm level hdl code or need i describe
detailed RTL level hdl code to be synthesised?
	And other examples, such as virtebi coder and decoder and reed-solomon
coder and decoder.
	And such as DCT(discrete cosine transform), wavelet transform, and other
digital signal processing algorithm?


Best Regards!
