Abstract

A method, apparatus and a filter compiler system for building a filter is disclosed. The filter compiler system includes a filter resource estimator. The filter resource estimator is configured to estimate an implementation cost of the filter. The filter compiler system determines whether the implementation cost is acceptable and updates a design of the filter upon determining that the implementation cost is unacceptable.
