Matrix Package in VHDL

Which package is this?

I have never seen such a package created by altera - link?

Sorry for misinformation..I am not sure whether the package is created by altera or some one else. howver, you can look at the package...I have uploaded it...can you tell me whether it will work for or not????

This package is for modelling only. You cannot synthesise with this package.

Why this package won't synthesis??? Even if I use fixed values for my matrices?

This package uses real types.

You could use the integer matrices, but the real matrices are not suitable (real types have no meaning to a synthesisor)

You need to define your own types , in your own package, with the fixed point package.

I have written the following code and compiled it with Quartus II. It gave me no error... I have also attached the snapshot of compilation page. I think I should use it and see whether I can achieve my result or not. What you suggest?

entity matrix_multiply is port

(

clock : in std_logic

);

end matrix_multiply;

architecture matrix_function of matrix_multiply is

signal i_es_alpha : sfixed(15 downto -12);

begin

multiply: process (clock)

variable matrix_a : sfixed_matrix (0 to 1, 0 to 1);

variable matrix_b : sfixed_matrix (0 to 1, 0 to 1);

variable matrix_c : sfixed_matrix (0 to 1, 0 to 1);

variable resizing : sfixed (15 downto -12);

begin

if rising_edge(clock) then

matrix_a := ((to_sfixed(1,15,-12),to_sfixed(2,15,-12)),(to_sfixed(5,15,-12),to_sfixed(8,15,-12)));

matrix_b := ((to_sfixed(5,15,-12),to_sfixed(2,15,-12)),(to_sfixed(7,15,-12),to_sfixed(8,15,-12)));

matrix_c := matrix_a*matrix_b;

end if;

i_es_alpha <= matrix_c(1,1);

end process multiply;

end architecture matrix_function;https://www.alteraforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=10580

input : clk

output: nothing

that makes compilation very easy and empty.

BTW this forum website is badly broken , it took me 4 times to login in order to login...not very encouraging.
