Floating Point Matrix Multiplication

I want to multiply a 56x56 matrix with a 56x1 matrix in floating point. There is a altfp_matrix_mult megafunction which does not compute this quickly enough. I am looking for ideas to implement ...

The altfp_matrix_mult Handbook gives an overview of required FPGA resources versus GFlops/s throughput. You can hardly expect to achieve a better result with a different FP design, so it can basically answer the question, if the intended design is feasible at all.

If the achievable GFlop amount isn't an issue, but altfp_matrix_mult doesn't fit the design structure, then it can be meaningful to think about a different FP design.
