The task is nonsense, and it is worded in the illiterate manner. Homework, no doubt.

If FPGA programmer asks questions like that, better find a new FPGA programmer. BTW there are better ways to solve for auto regression coefficients on the FPGA hardware rather then Levinson-Durbin.

Just about everybody has. Google returns ~200K results. VLV

it doesn't *do* correlation, but you supply it correlation data. however you get it. -- r b-j rbj@audioimagination.com "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

Some that do work well in FPGAs are convolution and correlation. It looks (especially from comments) that this does corellation, so it might work. The OP should look up references for systolic array processors, and especially (if above is right) for doing correlations. -- glen

Usually not so easy if it needs to run much faster than in C. My favorite FPGA implementations are systolic arrays, which are often pretty different from the usual serial implementation of most algorithms. It is still better than nothing if you don't know the algorithm at all. -- glen

Vlad, i don't even know if this guy's a student. might just be an FPGA programmer who doesn't know what the durbin recursion thingie is. i have C code for it. comes from the Motorola (now FreeScale) Dr. Bub thingie which got it from some old IEEE Fortran code. i've posted it once or twice before. lemme know if C code is something you can translate to VHDL. -- r b-j rbj@audioimagination.com "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

hello,
I now looking for any code for implementation of levinson-durbin algorithm
on fpga.
Can you help me?
