A new domain for FPGAs ? Function approximation

[Thorsten Kiefer]

Hi,
I don't know, what is state-of-the-art for function approximation
on FPGAs.

I developed this :
http://toki.burn3r.de/html5-projects/boolean-functions.html

"Paper" (10 minutes hack) for this :
http://toki.burn3r.de/html5-projects/boolean-functions/paper.html

If I tried to implement the constructor for PBFs in VHDL,
like a Float-Core-Generator, would I need to generate
VHDL code, or can VHDL function generate intermediate gates ?

If I tried to implement the solve() procedure, I would need
a random number generator. Is there a Xilinx IP core for this ?

BTW: I am using a Spartan3


I will extend my website and implement the generator in JavaScript.

Best wishes
