I'm trying to implement an arithmatic-heavy algorithm in VHDL, I already know it works in floating point environments like C. Still, for all the multiplication and division I have to do, I wanted to know what data type would be best, since I have to deal with both positive and negative numbers. Does anyone know a good reference online where there is a lot of info on each VHDL data type? If you're interested in knowing more about the algorithm in question, please ask. Thanks.

VHDL type reference for arithmatic

If you can get your hands on a floating point library, that is your best bet, as your code will be closer to the C code you ahve written. You can port from C to matlab, then the conversion from matlab to VHDL is easier then most other things.
