(8.D.2.3) FIRLoadingFract32
Overview
Simulates loading of fir fract32 filter
Discussion
This module is used for CPU load testing purposes and implements a large number of fixed point FIR filter taps. At instantiation time, you specify MAXNUMTAPS - the maximum number of filter taps that you would like to simulate. Then at run-time you can vary the number of filter taps running from 1 to MAXNUMTAPS. This makes the CPU work harder since more filter taps are running. Internally, the module uses a fract32 FIR module to implement the filtering.
Note that if the filter is connected to a multichannel input, then the module implements numChannels * numTaps filters. That is, the number of filters is scaled by the number of channels processed.

File Name: fir_loading_fract32_module.m
M = fir_loading_fract32_module(NAME, MAXNUMTAPS)
Module which simulates the loading of MAXNUMTAPS fir fract32 module. The
module is used for profiling and demonstrations of the computational
capabilities of processors. Arguments:
NAME - name of the module.
MAXNUMTAPS - maximum taps that will be tried (this is used for
memory allocation and is set to 10000 by default).
