Performance and Resource Utilization
This section shows typical expected performance for the Video and Image Processing
Suite MegaCore functions with the Quartus
®
II software targeting Cyclone IV GX and
Stratix V devices.
1 Cyclone IV GX devices use combinational look-up tables (LUTs) and logic registers;
Stratix V devices use combinational adaptive look-up tables (ALUTs) and logic
registers.
2D FIR Filter
Table 1–4 lists the performance figures for the 2D FIR Filter.
2D Median Filter
