LegUp 6.6 Release and Floating Point Multiplier Example
Floating-Point Multiplier Example
We’re happy to announce a new member of the team, Mehul Gupta, who has just joined the company for an internship from the University of Waterloo. He has been helping to build a floating-point library written in C++ using LegUp HLS that offers user-configurable precision (single, double, half, and arbitrary precision). The first example is a floating-point multiplier available in our public git repository:
Release Notes
New features and bug fixes for this release:
- Generic floating-point support for all FPGA vendors. We no longer rely on vendor-provided floating point cores. The floating-point cores can be tuned to the target FPGA architecture for optimal performance and area results. Our HLS floating-point cores are shown to produce better results than hand-written floating-point IP cores.
- Standard IP-XACT packaging file generation for LegUp cores to support integration into vendor system builder tools
- CentOS 6+ support, LegUp Linux installer no longer requires root privileges
- VHDL top-level wrapper generation to support integration into VHDL projects
- Various bug fixes
