I'm new to FPGAs and I was wondering if there is any source of available designs for typical algorithms.
more specifically I'm looking for vector inner-product distance calculation or things like sorting and read and write of matrices.
I'm wondering if i need to start from scratch or I might be able to build up on previous works.
FYI, I've not yet decided on my chip or even language. I'd go with the one with more flexibility.
You might want to check out OpenCores, which has tons of synthesizable subsystems.
