Xtreme Productivity

The Xilinx System Generator is used with the popular Simulink and MATLAB® modeling tools from The MathWorks. System Generator, combined with a wide library of parameterized and optimized algorithms from Xilinx and our partners, lets you automatically go from a behavior system-model to an FPGA implementation with no manual redesign. This significantly reduces development time, minimizes the risk of introducing errors, and lowers the learning curve.

You can experiment with the behavior of DSP functions and quickly determine algorithmic trade-offs between performance, power consumption, and silicon area. With Xilinx integrated development tools, you can quickly analyze how much faster it will run and how much less it will cost, compared to conventional DSP.
