Labview FPGA <->Matrix operations - Mult,inverse

[wfarid]

Hello,

 I wanted to ask if Labview FPGA supports Matrix operations and other complex operations. When I used the addition function, it could just accept scalar values, so are there any IPs for these operations.

Thanks,

 Walid F.

Good Morning Walid,

All of the FPGA IP that we have is at the following site:

IPNet - LabVIEW FPGA Functions and Example IP

     http://www.ni.com/ipnet

Have you seen the following sites?

What is the use of CompactRIO if floating point functions and matrices are not allowed to processed by LABVIEW FPGA?

Hello Charlie,

 Thanks for the reply. I know about the usage of only Fixed-point arithmetic on FPGAs, because floating points operations will need the implementation of a floating-point processor like, which will take lots of cycles and slices and won't be that good for real-time processing anyway, but I was asking about optimized  FXP matrix operations for FPGAs .... otherwise I'll have to implement them myself which will take some time or is there anyother way.

Thanks,

 Walid F.

Good Afternoon Walid,

I am unaware of any optimized  FXP matrix operations for FPGAs.  The palette available at the following link may provide some useful building blocks for your code.
