Honored Contributorhi everone, i am new to altera, and i have some basic questions about altera
1. if i use verilog, can quartus synthesis multipliation and division? 2. if i use VHDL, can quartus synthesis multipliation and division? 3. i find the altera synthesis cookbook.pdf, it contain a lot useful codes, does it have vhdl version? thanks!
Honored ContributorYou mean you have questions about quartus
1. 2. Yes of course ! You have just to write '*' or '/' :-). But kep in mind that divisions can consume lots of resources and maybe you have to pipeline. For division, you can also use LPM Division (see megawizard). A good advice : Divisions by a power of two are very very very very efficient ;-).Honored ContributorMegafunction, not megawizard, is the correct term.

i got it!Honored ContributorHi,
Perhaps you can attend the online training course which provided by Altera as below: http://wl.altera.com/education/training/courses/odswbecome Thank youHonored Contributorhi, perhaps you can attend the online course provided by Altera which can gives you the basic skills to design with Altera FPGAs.
Honored ContributorMultipliers and dividers often get mapped to DSP blocks which run way faster than the lookup table logic. assign foo = a * b; or assign foo = a / b; work fine in Quartus. You can check the fitter resource summary to see if lookup tables or DSP embedded multiplier blocks are being used.
