Design of a 16-point Winograd fast Fourier transform algorithm integrated circuit system

This paper describes the use of VHDL in the specification, design, and development of a large-scale project that includes several custom ASICs, standard digital components, board-level design, and bus interfacing. The common mechanism for the design was the use of VHDL in system testing, behavioral descriptions, structural descriptions, and synthesis. The use of VHDL allowed the project to be completed in one-fifth of the time used for previous methods.<
