17 years agoAre there other synthesis tools that support this? Since floating point isn't native to hardware, I'm not sure how it would be done. (A floating point add, for example, can probably be done many different ways, resulting in different hardware sizes, latencies, etc.) So supporting floating point functions as configurable megafunctions probably makes more sense(and they do exist there).
(I've never studied it too much, so this is just a guess...)
