System Resource Estimation
System Resource Estimation
System Generator provides a Resource Estimator block that quickly estimates the area of a
design prior to place and route. This can be a valuable aid in the hardware / software
partitioning process by helping system designers take full advantage of the FPGA
resources which include up to 640 multiply/accumulate (or DSP) blocks in the Virtex®-5
devices.
