Hello, As part of my final year of engineering, I am to undertake a final year project wherein I am to accelerate a computationally complex algorithm, using a reconfigurable computing paradigm. The project is more theory based, on the advice of my supervisor, and the deliverables of the project are research papers which are to be published at international conferences and international journals. As part of my project, I am trying to accelerate an algorithm. However, since the algorithm is based in IDL and I am used to working on Matlab, is there any way to "port" the IDL code onto MATLAB. The reason I want to implement on MATLAB, is due to the fact that MATLAB has a "profile on" function, which gives me the profile of the algorithm, in terms of the CPU usage. Based on this, I will be able to figure out which parts of the algorithm engage the CPU the most, and hence can be speeded up using an FPGA. My next project milestone is on the 25th of April, where I am to submit a paper to a conference. I would be grateful for any help, advice or suggestions that the forum users may have.
