hi all
i want to ask a question and i don't know if it possible in vhdl or how 
to make it.
if i have an eqution such as

x= m(a)+a*max(a)+b*sd_d(a)
and the values of a and b is as
a=1
b=1.5
--------
a=1
b=1.75
--------
a=1.5
b=0
---------
and i want to substitue the values of a,b every time and check the x 
value with comparator
how i make it in vhdl.any idea please

Something with an array, and a pointer which increment at the pace you 
want (prescale Clk). Each (2 i your case)array have the different values 
for a and b, and a common pointer gets incremented.

what are you going to check x for?

Forget about real numbers and use fixed point arithmetic, i.e. convert 
your numbers to integer values, scaled by an appropriate factor.

i didn't understand your sugestion , could you clear plz.
i want to multiply constant a1=1 & b2=1.5
with integer values ,should i convert real constant to real first or how 
too enter that real constant to vhdl

Ok, thats absolutely no problem.

That is not neccessary. A real constant is a real number, which can 
multiplies with another real value instantly.

Real numbers are entered in a way like 1.23 or 23.4 or 0.9999 or some 
other numbers with a dot in between...

And now lets try it another way. Answer ALL of the following questions:
What is your actual problem?
Where do the numbers come from (a file, the keyboard, your brain,...)?
Must this be implemented in hardware, or is it for simulation only?
Can you show vhdl code causing problems to you?
