Computed Algorithm using VHDL

Hi all.

My lecturer gave me an assignment to computed algorithm using vhdl. But, I little bit blur about this assignment. How I should get started? Do you have any suggestion reference book to me. Kindly help me :(

Thanks in advance

    If you're trying to implement an algorithm in hardware what you need is a Finite State Machine with Datapath FSMD or simply datapath. Books: RTL Hardware Design Pong Chu. Logic & Computer Design Fundamentals Mano & Kime also deals with that. What algorithm are you implementing?

    I want to implement linear back projection algorithm. Thanks bertulus for your suggestion.

    Yeah. Exactly. Based on your opinion, how long that I need to design that algorithm using VHDL code?

    I didn't work with this application. Its seems you have to process information and move it between temporal buffer ( big buffers in external RAM ). I worked on computer vision algorithm ( not with a fpga ) and you it takes a lot of time to get an application working perfect. And a lot of patience. This application looks similar or harder. At least you have to be an excellent vhdl programmer.
