-# LabVIEW-FPGA-Array-Based-Linear-Algebra
+# LabVIEW-FPGA-Array-Based-Linear-Algebra
+A library of array-based linear algebra solvers for LabVIEW FPGA designed for ease of use over efficiency or timing.
+
+The provided palette has functions for 
+- Matrix-matrix multiply
+- Vector-matrix multiply
+- Matrix-vector multiply
+- Dot-product
+- Matrix inverse
+- Matrix transpose
+- Cholesky Decomposition
+- Eigenvalue 
+
+All functions except the eigenvalue are polymorphic and can take both single precisions floating data type and fixed-point data points up to a word length of 12 and integer word length of 32. Note that the eigenvalue function only supports single precisions floating point.

+
+These functions enable array-based deployment of algorithms to FPGAs. Arrays are stored in the look-up tables (LUT) for ease of implementation.
