Re: Fixed-point operations
The OP asked for fixed-point arithmetic, not floating point.
The only two libraries I can recommend are the one included in
SystemC (very complete
in terms of overflow/quantization control, but slow) and one offered
as open source by Mentor Graphics
at http://www.mentor.com/products/esl/high_level_synthesis/
ac_datatypes.cfm.
This second one is a very useful subset of the SystemC library and is
_very_ fast.
Hope this helps,
Maurizio

Slow on what? Most big cpus nowadays have very fast FPUs. On
something like an ARM without an FPU fixed point should be quite a
bit faster....
