FpSynt: a fixed-point datapath synthesis tool for embedded systems

Digital mobile systems must function with low power, small size and weight, and low cost. High-performance desktop microprocessors, with built-in floating point hardware, are not suitable in these cases. For embedded systems, it can be advantageous to implement these calculations with fixed point arithmetic instead. We present an automated fixed-point data path synthesis tool FpSynt for designing embedded applications in fixed-point domain with sufficient accuracy for most applications.
