TITLE: MATLAB-TO-FPGA SYNTHESIS FOR DSP

AccelFPGA  is  a  high-level   synthesis   tool   that   directly
synthesizes  the  MATLAB  design  language and Simulink graphical
netlists into  RTL  models  with  simulation  testbenches.   This
designer  productivity  tool  is  based  on  a  research  project
conducted at Northwestern University under sponsorship by  DARPA.
Armed  with  the  knowledge  of the target FPGA device's internal
execution resources, routing architecture  and  physical  design,
the  AccelFPGA  compiler  produces  optimized RTL models that can
then be synthesized by Synopsys, Mentor  Graphics  or  Synplicity
into Xilinx, Altera or QuickLogic FPGAs.
