High Throughput Complex Multiply Implementation resource

[nmbernardo]

There are two option in the implementation resource of a High Throughput Complex Multiply block in LabVIEW FPGA (Auto and Look-up Table). What is the difference between the two and what is the advantage of one over the other? which consumes less fpga resource?

nmbernardo,

Auto specifies that the compiler decides whether to use embedded block multipliers or look-up tables (LUTs) to implement the multiplier. Whereas Look-Up Table specifies that this function uses LUTs to implement the multiplier. Selecting this option might increase the clock rate at which this function can compile.
