Matrix Multiply

a

The first matrix to multiply.

b

The second matrix to multiply.

a valid

A Boolean that indicates whether the next data point to a has arrived for processing. Wire the output valid output of an upstream node to this input to transfer data from the upstream node to the a input of this node.

TRUE	The next data point to a has arrived for processing.
FALSE	The next data point to a has not arrived for processing.

b valid

A Boolean that indicates whether the next data point to b has arrived for processing. Wire the output valid output of an upstream node to this input to transfer data from the upstream node to the b input of this node.

TRUE	The next data point to b has arrived for processing.
FALSE	The next data point to b has not arrived for processing.

ready for output

Boolean value that defines whether downstream nodes are ready for this node to return a new value. Use a Feedback Node to wire the ready for input output of a downstream node to this input of the current node.

True	Downstream nodes are ready for this node to return a new value.
False	Downstream nodes are not ready for this node to return a new value.

Note If this input is False during a cycle, the output valid output returns False during that cycle.

Default value: True

c

The matrix that results from a×b.

operation overflow

A Boolean that indicates whether the theoretical computed value exceeds the valid range of the output data type.

TRUE	The theoretical computed value exceeds the valid range of the output data type.
FALSE	The theoretical computed value does not exceed the valid range of the output data type.

ready for a

A Boolean that indicates whether the node is ready to accept new input data for the a input. Use a Feedback Node to wire this output to the ready for output input of an upstream node.

TRUE	The node is ready to accept new input data for a.
FALSE	The node is not ready to accept new input data for a.

ready for b

A Boolean that indicates whether the node is ready to accept new input data for the b input. Use a Feedback Node to wire this output to the ready for output input of an upstream node.

TRUE	The node is ready to accept new input data for a.
FALSE	The node is not ready to accept new input data for a.

output valid

Boolean value that indicates whether this node computes a result that downstream nodes can use.

Wire this output to the input valid input of a downstream node to transfer data from the node to the downstream node.

True	Downstream nodes can use the result this node computes.
False	This node returns an undefined value that downstream nodes cannot use. Note This node may return different undefined values when executed in simulation mode versus when executed on hardware.

Input Pattern

Choose the orientation of the matrices into the node and the operation mode. Vector In specifies the node to operate matrix by matrix. Element In specifies the node to operate element-by-element.

M

Specify the number of rows for matrix a.

L

Specify the number of columns for matrix a and the number of rows for matrix b.

N

Specify the number of columns for matrix b.

Initiation Interval

Specifies the number of clock cycles per matrix before the node can process new inputs.

Output Pattern

Choose the orientation of output data. Element Out specifies scalar data while Vector Out specifies a matrix.

Conjugate A

Specifies whether to conjugate the inputs of matrix a during operation.

Selecting this option does not require additional FPGA resources.

Conjugate B

Specifies whether to conjugate the inputs of matrix b during operation.
