Kirkland, WA – 18 February, 2010 – Impulse Accelerated Technologies today announced a new FPGA hardware library supporting C-language math.h functions.

Unlike math.h functions that run “native” in embedded processors, the Impulse library is implemented directly in FPGA hardware, and supports refactoring into multiple, pipelined parallel processes. When used in this way, the math.h functions operate 2 – 10X faster than on embedded processors. And because they are callable from Impulse C, they are more accessible to software developers and others less … Read More → "Floating Point Math.h Functions Accelerated 2 – 10X on FPGA Hardware, with Impulse C High Level Synthesis Tools"
