Development of a design in VHDL that sorts ternary vectors

Abstract

This paper describes the steps to be executed for the design of an FPGA-based circuit that sorts ternary vectors of a matrix (with the size 16x16) and visualizes the result on a VGA monitor screen. The initial matrix is arbitrary filled with values 0, 1 and '-' (don't care) and then it is sorted using the bubblesort algorithm. Finally the initial and the sorted matrices will be displayed on themonitor screen.
