This white paper provides an overview of fixed- and floating-point DSP coding techniques, ranging from RTL to the Xilinx portfolio of IP and tools. It also describes advances with High-Level Synthesis (HLS) tools, like AutoPilot, how FPGA designs can benefit from coding in a “natural language” like C or C++, and how easily FPGAs can be programmed by a large community of software programmers.
