Abstract:
1. In a computing system, a method for generating components for calculating an output of an associative operation, the method comprising: decomposing a number of inputs to the associative operation into a vector V, a number of elements in the vector representing a number of components used to calculate the output of the associative operation, values of the elements in the vector corresponding to a number of inputs for a corresponding component; processing the vector V to reduce a number of inputs to one or more of the components represented in the vector, the vector V satisfying the following conditions: generating a first component representative of an element in the vector V as part of a graphical model in a graphical modeling environment, the first component having at least two inputs, the first component producing a first output; generating a second component representative of an element in the vector V as part of the graphical model in the graphical modeling environment, the second component having at least three inputs, at least one of the at least three inputs being the first output of the first component, the second component: generating a hardware description language representation of the first component and the second component.
