vhdl code to find max value from input

What did you search for?

This is exaclty what you need (according to your requirements):

1

library IEEE;

2

use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.ALL;

3

use IEEE.math_real.ALL;

4

5

entity findmax is

6

  port (

7

    clk : in std_logic;

8

    clr : in std_logic;

9

    din : in real;

10

    max : out real;

11

  );

12

end findmax ;

13

14

architecture Behavioral of findmax is

15

signal m : real := 0.0;

16

begin

17

  process begin

18

    wait until rising_edge(clk);

19

      if clr='1' then

20

        m <= 0.0;

21

      elsif din>m then

22

        m <= din;

23

      end if;    

24

    end if;

25

  end process;

26

27

  max <= m;

28

end Behavioral;

Of course I already added a clock and a clear signal. Otherwise (without 
clock and clear) it would look much less complicated:

1

library IEEE;

2

use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.ALL;

3

use IEEE.math_real.ALL;

4

5

entity findmax is

6

  port (

7

    din : in real;

8

    max : out real;

9

  );

10

end findmax ;

11

12

architecture Behavioral of findmax is

13

signal m : real := 0.0;

14

begin

15

  m <= din when m<din else m;

16

  max <= m;

17

end Behavioral;

Indeed, but I think that little syntax flaw will not be the biggest 
problem here...

thanks a lot lkmiller ,but i want to know how can i gave the floating 
numbers to xilinx simulation program

And where do the numbers come from?
Where are the numbers generated and/or stored?

i mean to test the code i should gave numbers from test bench waveform 
instead of write test bench .

I do not understand the problem...  :-/
Please write at least 5 sentences that describe your task (including 
answers to my previous questions).

if i want to find the max value in 
(0.3251,0.2536,0.2147,0.3669.............)
how to test it and find the max value

Do you remember my unanswered questions?

Show the definition of your data at least. Is it an array of floating 
point numbers? How is this array defined?
