FloPoCo

The purpose of the open-source FloPoCo project is to explore the many ways in which the flexibility of the FPGA target can be exploited in the arithmetic realm. FloPoCo is a generator of operators written in C++ and outputting synthesizable VHDL automatically pipelined to an arbitrary frequency. Among the known users of FloPoCo are U. Bristol,U. Cape Town, U.T. Cluj-Napoca, Imperial College, U. Essex, U. Madrid, U. P. Milano, T.U. Muenchen, T. U. Kaiserslautern, U. Paderborn, CalTech, U. Pernambuco, U. Perpignan, U. Tohoku, U. Tokyo, Virginia Tech U. and several companies.

In 2014, FloPoCo was enhanced with a generator of FIR filters accurate to the last bit [19] and several variants of the Atan2 function [46] .
