Arrays-VHDL

1.In arrays(of real type ) how are we supposed to find the maximum value index in the array?I think A'HIGH is something different which gives the highest subscript of the array.What's the difference ...

forget real types for implementation.

For floating point you need to use the flaoting point cores from the altera IP library. But usually you can use fixed point. You only need to use floating point in extreme cases. I suggest a re-design using fixed point as that is essentially integer arithmatic that FPGAs are good at.

Basically - transistion from MATLAB to FPGA is NOT a simple task.
