import qualified Data.List as L

macT
  :: Int        -- Current state
  -> (Int,Int)  -- Input
  -> (Int,Int)  -- (Updated state, output)
macT s (x,y) = (s',s)
  where
    s' = x * y + s

  -> Enable dom
  -> Signal dom (Int, Int)

Synchronous sequential functions can be composed just like their combinational counterpart:

dualMac
  :: KnownDomain dom
  => Clock dom
  -> Reset dom
  -> Enable dom
  -> (Signal dom Int, Signal dom Int)
  -> (Signal dom Int, Signal dom Int)
  -> Signal dom Int
dualMac clk rst en (a,b) (x,y) = s1 + s2

    s1 = mealy clk rst en macT 0 (bundle (a,x))
    s2 = mealy clk rst en macT 0 (bundle (b,y))

A version of mealy that does automatic Bundleing

Given a function f of type:

f :: Int -> (Bool,Int) -> (Int,(Int,Bool))

When we want to make compositions of f in g using mealy, we have to write:

g clk rst en a b c = (b1,b2,i2)
  where
    (i1,b1) = unbundle (mealy clk rst en f 0 (bundle (a,b)))
    (i2,b2) = unbundle (mealy clk rst en f 3 (bundle (c,i1)))

Using mealyB however we can write:

g clk rst en a b c = (b1,b2,i2)
  where
    (i1,b1) = mealyB clk rst en f 0 (a,b)
    (i2,b2) = mealyB clk rst en f 3 (c,i1)

    s2 = moore clk rst en macT id 0 (bundle (b,y))

A version of moore that does automatic Bundleing

Given a functions t and o of types:

t :: Int -> (Bool, Int) -> Int

  where
    (i1,b1) = unbundle (moore clk rst en t o 0 (bundle (a,b)))

  where
    (i1,b1) = mooreB clk rst en t o 0 (a,b)
    (i2,b2) = mooreB clk rst en t o 3 (c,i1)

Synchronizer based on two sequentially connected flip-flops.

• NB: This synchronizer can be used for bit-synchronization.

• NB: Although this synchronizer does reduce metastability, it does not guarantee the proper synchronization of a whole word. For example, given that the output is sampled twice as fast as the input is running, and we have two samples in the input stream that look like:

  [0111,1000]

  But the circuit driving the input stream has a longer propagation delay on msb compared to the lsbs. What can happen is an output stream that looks like this:

  [0111,0111,0000,1000]

  Where the level-change of the msb was not captured, but the level change of the lsbs were.

  If you want to have safe word-synchronization use asyncFIFOSynchronizer.

Synchronizer implemented as a FIFO around a synchronous RAM. Based on the design described in Clash.Tutorial, which is itself based on the design described in http://www.sunburst-design.com/papers/CummingsSNUG2002SJ_FIFO1.pdf. However, this FIFO uses a synchronous dual-ported RAM which, unlike those designs using RAM with an asynchronous read port, is nearly guaranteed to actually synthesize into one of the dual-ported RAMs found on most FPGAs.

NB: This synchronizer can be used for word-synchronization. NB: This synchronizer will only work safely when you set up the proper bus skew and maximum delay constraints inside your synthesis tool for the clock domain crossings of the gray pointers.

Create a read-after-write block RAM from a read-before-write one

Produces vendor-agnostic HDL that will be inferred as a true dual-port block RAM

Any value that is being written on a particular port is also the value that will be read on that port, i.e. the same-port read/write behavior is: WriteFirst. For mixed-port read/write, when port A writes to the address port B reads from, the output of port B is undefined, and vice versa.

foldr r z Nil                             == z

"foldr1 f xs" corresponds to the following circuit layout:

foldl1 is a variant of foldl that has no starting value argument, and thus must be applied to non-empty vectors.

NB: "foldl1 f z xs" produces a linear structure, which has a depth, or delay, of O(length xs). Use fold if your binary operator f is associative, as "fold f xs" produces a structure with a depth of O(log_2(length xs)).

fold is a variant of foldr1 and foldl1, but instead of reducing from right to left, or left to right, it reduces a vector using a tree-like structure. The depth, or delay, of the structure produced by "fold f xs", is hence O(log_2(length xs)), and not O(length xs).

NB: The binary operator "f" in "fold f xs" must be associative.

Forward permutation specified by an index mapping, ix. The result vector is initialized by the given defaults, def, and an further values that are permuted into the result are added to the current value using the given combination function, f.

The combination function must be associative and commutative.

Backwards permutation specified by an index mapping, is, from the destination vector specifying which element of the source vector xs to read.

Copy elements from the source vector, xs, to the destination vector according to an index mapping is. This is a forward permute operation where a to vector encodes an input to output index mapping. Output elements for indices that are not mapped assume the value in the default vector def.

>>> let input = 1:>9:>6:>4:>4:>2:>5:>Nil

doctests setup

let sortVL :: (Ord a, KnownNat (n + 1)) => Vec ((n + 1) + 1) a -> Vec ((n + 1) + 1) a
    sortVL xs = map fst sorted :< (snd (last sorted))
      where
        lefts  = head xs :> map snd (init sorted)
        rights = tail xs

        lefts  = head xs :> map snd (init sorted)
        rights = tail xs
        sorted = zipWith (flip compareSwapL) rights lefts
:}

Example usage

For example:

-- Bubble sort for 1 iteration
sortV xs = map fst sorted :< (snd (last sorted))
 where
   lefts  = head xs :> map snd (init sorted)
   rights = tail xs
   sorted = zipWith compareSwapL lefts rights

-- Compare and swap
compareSwapL a b = if a < b then (a,b)
                            else (b,a)

Will not terminate because zipWith is too strict in its second argument.

In this case, adding lazyV on zipWiths second argument:

sortVL xs = map fst sorted :< (snd (last sorted))
 where
   lefts  = head xs :> map snd (init sorted)
   rights = tail xs
   sorted = zipWith compareSwapL (lazyV lefts) rights

Results in a successful computation:

>>> sortVL (4 :> 1 :> 2 :> 3 :> Nil)
1 :> 2 :> 3 :> 4 :> Nil

NB: There is also a solution using flip, but it slightly obfuscates the meaning of the code:

sortV_flip xs = map fst sorted :< (snd (last sorted))
 where
   lefts  = head xs :> map snd (init sorted)
   rights = tail xs
   sorted = zipWith (flip compareSwapL) rights lefts

A dependently typed fold.

doctests setup

>>> :seti -fplugin GHC.TypeLits.Normalise
>>> import Data.Singletons (Apply, Proxy (..), TyFun)
>>> data Append (m :: Nat) (a :: Type) (f :: TyFun Nat Type) :: Type
>>> type instance Apply (Append m a) l = Vec (l + m) a
>>> let append' xs ys = dfold (Proxy :: Proxy (Append m a)) (const (:>)) ys xs

Example usage

Using lists, we can define append (a.k.a. Data.List.++) in terms of Data.List.foldr:

>>> import qualified Data.List
>>> let append xs ys = Data.List.foldr (:) ys xs
>>> append [1,2] [3,4]
[1,2,3,4]

However, when we try to do the same for Vec, by defining append' in terms of Clash.Sized.Vector.foldr:

append' xs ys = foldr (:>) ys xs

we get a type error:

>>> let append' xs ys = foldr (:>) ys xs

<interactive>:...
    • Occurs check: cannot construct the infinite type: ... ~ ... + 1
      Expected type: a -> Vec ... a -> Vec ... a
        Actual type: a -> Vec ... a -> Vec (... + 1) a
    • In the first argument of ‘foldr’, namely ‘(:>)’
      In the expression: foldr (:>) ys xs
      In an equation for ‘append'’: append' xs ys = foldr (:>) ys xs
    • Relevant bindings include
        ys :: Vec ... a (bound at ...)
        append' :: Vec n a -> Vec ... a -> Vec ... a
          (bound at ...)

The reason is that the type of foldr is:

>>> :t foldr
foldr :: (a -> b -> b) -> b -> Vec n a -> b

While the type of (:>) is:

>>> :t (:>)
(:>) :: a -> Vec n a -> Vec (n + 1) a

We thus need a fold function that can handle the growing vector type: dfold. Compared to foldr, dfold takes an extra parameter, called the motive, that allows the folded function to have an argument and result type that depends on the current length of the vector. Using dfold, we can now correctly define append':

import Data.Singletons
import Data.Proxy

data Append (m :: Nat) (a :: Type) (f :: TyFun Nat Type) :: Type
type instance Apply (Append m a) l = Vec (l + m) a

append' xs ys = dfold (Proxy :: Proxy (Append m a)) (const (:>)) ys xs

We now see that append' has the appropriate type:

>>> :t append'
append' :: KnownNat k => Vec k a -> Vec m a -> Vec (k + m) a

And that it works:

>>> append' (1 :> 2 :> Nil) (3 :> 4 :> Nil)
1 :> 2 :> 3 :> 4 :> Nil

NB: "dfold m f z xs" creates a linear structure, which has a depth, or delay, of O(length xs). Look at dtfold for a dependently typed fold that produces a structure with a depth of O(log_2(length xs)).

A combination of dfold and fold: a dependently typed fold that reduces a vector in a tree-like structure.
