I am looking for non-linear interpolation software tools. If you
know of any (preferably in the public domain), I would appreciate
the information (including pointers to papers/books). Thanks.

Subject: Rolling Averages/Simulation

Consider a buffer of values that are continuously rotating out and periodic sampling of the rolling averages contained in that buffer. Note the difference from the usual moving average concept. I am looking for a good reference point in the literature des
cribing the technique in a simulation environment. Any help?

There are a number of companies that sell simulation systems.  Names
such as Gateway (Verilog), Zycad (VHDL, ISP'), Vantage (VHDL) come to
my mind.  Are there any standard models to benchmark the various
simulators and languages?  I heard that Ron Waxman, who coordinated
much of the VHDL development, had a suite of models, but I don't know
how to reach him.

Thanks.

  Is any one one familiar with tools to "generate" high level models
  for processors and peripherals?  Writing a model line at a time is
  tedious.  Are there tools that given an abstract description,
  produces a more detailed model?  Something like YACC in Unix would
  be along the lines of what I am thinking about.  Specify a grammer,
  if you will, and have a complete model automatically generated.

  I was told of an Israeli company, i-logix, that sells Statemate.  In
  it, you can graphically describe state machines.  A built-in
  translator spits out VHDL models for the state machine.

  Thanks.
