Advanced algorithms used today in wireless, medical, defense, and consumer applications are more sophisticated than ever before. Vivado® High-Level Synthesis included as a no cost upgrade in all Vivado HLx Editions, accelerates IP creation by enabling C, C++ and System C specifications to be directly targeted into Xilinx programmable devices without the need to manually create RTL. Supporting both the ISE® and Vivado design environments Vivado HLS provides system and design architects alike with a faster path to IP creation by :
Vivado HLS supports older architectures specific to ISE Design Suite and installs automatically as part of the Vivado HLx Editions.
The following libraries are included with Vivado HLS:
Name | Description |
---|---|
Arbitrary Precision Data Types | Integer and fixed-point (ap_cint.h, ap_int.h and systemc.h) |
HLS Stream | Models for streaming data structures. Designed to obtain best performance and area (hls_stream.h) |
HLS Math | Extensive support for the synthesis of the standard C (math.h) and C++ (cmath.h) math libraries. The support includes floating point and fixed-point functions: abs, atan, atanf, atan2, atan2, ceil, ceilf, copysign, copysignf, cos, cosf, coshf, expf, fabs, fabsf, floorf, fmax, fmin, logf, fpclassify, isfinite, isinf, isnan, isnormal, log, log10, modf, modff, recip, recipf, round, rsqrt, rsqrtf, 1/sqrt, signbit, sin, sincos, sincosf, sinf, sinhf, sqrt, tan, tanf, trunc |
HLS Video | Video library to implement several aspects of modeling video design in C++ with video Functions, specific data types, memory line buffer and memory window (hls_video.h).
