Behavioral Implementation of SVD on FPGA
Mi Tian, Mihai Sima, Michael L. McGuire · 2018
Implementing Singular-Value Decomposition (SVD) in real time is a requirement in wireless communications. Pure-software solutions are not likely to provide a satisfactory computing speed; thus, hardware support is needed. Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) can provide a cost-effective alternative to full-custom hardware as long as the digital design is tuned toward the specific reconfigurable architecture. In this paper, we describe techniques to generate a behavioral implementation of SVD that can be mapped easily onto FPGA, thereby reducing the effort of the design and coding. The computing performance and hardware complexity are in line or better than prior-art.
