VHDL modeling for signal processor development
Cory S. Myers, R. Dreiling · 2002
This paper presents modeling approaches and experiences in the use of the VHSIC hardware description language (VHDL) for the development of application-specific signal processors. Within our work on the ARPA/Tri-Service RASSP program we have developed and used VHDL modeling techniques for modeling the performance of signal processor systems and for the detailed design of signal processor systems. These approaches have been applied to modeling a large infra-red search and track system from a functional model, through performance modeling, through a full functional model, down to a detailed hardware implementation model.
