Xilinx System Generator provides a set of Simulink blocks (models) for several hardware operations that
could be implemented on various Xilinx FPGAs. These blocks can be used to simulate the functionality of
the hardware system using Simulink environment. The nature of most DSP applications requires floating
point format for data representation. While this is easy to implement on several computer systems
running high level modeling software such as Simulink, it is more challenging in the hardware world due
to the complexity of the implementation of floating point arithmetic. These challenges increase with
portable DSP systems where more restricting constraints are applied to the system design. For these
reasons Xilinx System Generator uses fixed point format to represent all numerical values in the system.
System generator provides some blocks to transform data provided from the software side of the simulation
environment (in our case it is Simulink) and the hardware side (System Generator blocks).
