The Complex Burst Matrix Solve Using QR Decomposition block solves the system of linear equations Ax = B using QR decomposition, where A and B are complex-valued matrices. To compute x = A-1, set B to be the identity matrix.
When Regularization parameter is nonzero, the
Complex Burst Matrix Solve Using QR Decomposition block computes the matrix
solution of complex-valued where λ is the regularization parameter,
A is an m-by-n matrix,
p is the number of columns in B,

.
Examples
Ports
Input
A(i,:) — Rows of matrix A
vector
Rows of matrix A, specified as a vector. A is an m-by-n matrix where m ≥ 2 and m ≥ n. If B is single or double, A must be the same data type as B. If A is a fixed point data type, A must be signed, use binary-point scaling, and have the same word length as B. Slope-bias representation is not supported for fixed-point data types.
Data Types: single
| double
| fixed point
Complex Number Support: Yes
B(i,:) — Rows of matrix B
vector
Rows of matrix B, specified as a vector. B is an m-by-p matrix where m ≥ 2. If A is single or double, B must be the same data type as A. If B is a fixed-point data type, B must be signed, use binary-point scaling, and have the same word length as A. Slope-bias representation is not supported for fixed-point data types.
Data Types: single

Complex Number Support: Yes
validIn — Whether inputs are valid
Boolean
scalar
Whether inputs are valid, specified as a Boolean scalar. This control signal
indicates when the data from the A(i,:)
and
B(i,:)
input ports are valid. When this value is 1
(true
) and the value at ready
is 1
(true
), the block captures the values at the
A(i,:)
and B(i,:)
input ports. When this
value is 0 (false
), the block ignores the input samples.
After sending a true
validIn
signal, there may be some delay before
ready
is set to false
. To ensure all data is
processed, you must wait until ready
is set to
false
before sending another true
validIn
signal.
Data Types: Boolean
restart — Whether to clear internal states
Boolean
scalar
Whether to clear internal states, specified as a Boolean scalar. When this value
is 1 (true
), the block stops the current calculation and clears all
internal states. When this value is 0 (false
) and the
validIn
value is 1 (true
), the block begins
a new subframe.
Data Types: Boolean
Output
X(i,:) — Rows of matrix X
scalar | vector
Rows of the matrix X, returned as a scalar or vector.
Data Types: single
| double
| fixed point
validOut — Whether output data is valid
Boolean
scalar
Whether the output data is valid, returned as a Boolean scalar. This control
signal indicates when the data at the output port X(i,:)
is
valid. When this value is 1 (true
), the block has successfully
computed a row of matrix X. When this value is 0
(false
), the output data is not valid.
Data Types: Boolean
ready — Whether block is ready
Boolean
scalar
Whether the block is ready, returned as a Boolean scalar. This control signal
indicates when the block is ready for new input data. When this value is 1
(true
) and validIn
value is 1
(true
), the block accepts input data in the next time step. When
this value is 0 (false
), the block ignores input data in the next
time step.
After sending a true
validIn
signal, there may be some delay before
ready
is set to false
. To ensure all data is
processed, you must wait until ready
is set to
false
before sending another true
validIn
signal.

Algorithms
Choosing the Implementation Method
Systolic implementations prioritize speed of computations over space constraints, while burst implementations prioritize space constraints at the expense of speed of the operations. The following table illustrates the tradeoffs between the implementations available for matrix decompositions and solving systems of linear equations.
Implementation | Throughput | Latency | Area |
---|---|---|---|
Systolic | C | O(n) | O(mn2) |
Partial-Systolic | C | O(m) | O(n2) |
Partial-Systolic with Forgetting Factor | C | O(n) | O(n2) |
Burst | O(n) | O(mn) | O(n) |
Where C is a constant proportional to the word length of the data, m is the number of rows in matrix A, and n is the number of columns in matrix A.
For additional considerations in selecting a block for your application, see Choose a Block for HDL-Optimized Fixed-Point Matrix Operations.
Synchronous vs Asynchronous Implementation
The Matrix Solve Using QR Decomposition blocks operate synchronously. These blocks first decompose the input A and B matrices into R and C matrices using a QR decomposition block. Then, a back substitute block computes RX = C. The input A and B matrices propagate through the system in parallel, in a synchronized way.
The Matrix Solve Using Q-less QR Decomposition blocks operate asynchronously. First, Q-less QR decomposition is performed on the input A matrix and the resulting R matrix is put into a buffer. Then, a forward backward substitution block uses the input B matrix and the buffered R matrix to compute R'RX = B. Because the R and B matrices are stored separately in buffers, the upstream Q-less QR decomposition block and the downstream Forward Backward Substitute block can run independently. The Forward Backward Substitute block starts processing when the first R and B matrices are available. Then it runs continuously using the latest buffered R and B matrices, regardless of the status of the Q-less QR Decomposition block. For example, if the upstream block stops providing A and B matrices, the Forward Backward Substitute block continues to generate the same output using the last pair of R and B matrices.
The Burst (Asynchronous) Matrix Solve Using Q-less QR Decomposition blocks are available in both synchronous and asynchronous operation variants, as denoted by the block name.
AMBA AXI Handshake Process
This block uses the AMBA AXI handshake protocol [1]. The valid/ready
handshake process is used to transfer data and control information. This two-way control mechanism allows both the manager and subordinate to control the rate at which information moves between manager and subordinate. A valid
signal indicates when data is available. The ready
signal indicates that the block can accept the data. Transfer of data occurs only when both the valid
and ready
signals are high.
Block Timing
The Burst Matrix Solve Using QR Decomposition blocks accept and process A and B matrices row by row synchronously. After accepting m rows, the block outputs the X matrix row by row continuously. The matrix is output from the first row to the last row.
For example, assume that the input A and B
matrices are 3-by-3. Additionally assume that validIn
asserts before
ready
, meaning that the upstream data source is faster than the QR
decomposition.
In the figure,
A1r1
is the first row of the first A matrix,X1r3
is the third row of the first X matrix, and so on.validIn
toready
— From a successful row input to the block being ready to accept the next row within one matrix.Last row
validIn
tovalidOut
— From the last row input to the block starting to output the solution.Last row
validIn
to new matrix ready — From the block starting to output the solution to the block ready to accept the next matrix input.
The following table provides details of the timing for the Complex Burst Matrix Solve Using QR Decomposition block. Latency depends on the size of matrix A and the data types of the A and B matrices. In the table:
n is the number of columns in matrix A.
wl represents the word length of the input data. If the data types of A and B are fixed point or scaled double
fi
, then wl is given bymax(A.WordLength + ~issigned(A), B.WordLength + ~issigned(B))
.
Input Data Type | validIn to ready (cycles) | Last Row validIn to validOut
(cycles) | Last row validIn to new matrix ready (cycles) |
---|---|---|---|
Fixed point fi | (wl*2 + 11)*n + 2 | (wl*2 + 11)*n + 3.5*n2 + n*(nextpow2(wl) + wl + 8.5) + 3 | (wl*2 + 11)*n + 3.5*(n-1)2 + (n-1)(nextpow2(wl) + wl + 8.5) + 3 |
Scaled double fi | (wl*2 + 11)*n + 2 | 3.5*n2 + (3*wl + 18.5)*n + 3 | (wl*2 + 11)*n + 3.5*(n - 1)2 + (n - 1)*(7.5 + wl) + 3 |
double | 117*n + 2 | 3.5*n2 + 123.5*n + 3 | 3.5*n2 + 116.5*n |
single | 59*n + 2 | 3.5*n2 + 65.5*n + 3 | 3.5*n2 + 58.5*n |
