FPGA-based implementation and comparison of recursive and iterative algorithms
Valery Sklyarov, Iouliia Skliarova, Bruno Santos Pimentel · 2005
The paper analyses and compares alternative iterative and recursive implementations of FPGA circuits for various problems. Two types of recursive calls have been examined, namely for cyclic and binary (N-ary) search algorithms. The details of experiments are presented for four different design problems. The relevant comparative data have been obtained as a result of synthesis and implementation in FPGAs of the respective circuits from system-level (Handel-C) and RTL (VHDL) specifications.
