Can Terasic Cyclone IV be programmed using LabView?

National Instruments has FPGA modules that can be programmed using LabView. Is it possible with Altera? If not is there any way out? Are there any Block level implementations of FPGA for algorithms like Support Vector machines, Common spatial Pattern etc. Are there any specified toolkits for Optimization, Image Processing, Machine learning etc? Is there a way to convert Processing algorithm implementations in C to Verilog or VHDL? Kindly help me out. I am a beginner in FPGA?

In relation to your first question... is there a reason why you want to use National Instruments? 

 

Altera's Quartus II software has a free web edition that makes it easy to program on the Cyclone IV.

In relation to your 2nd question... 

I believe Cyclone IV has a Nios-II processor inside it that can run your C algorithms (assuming there's enough space) - within Quartus you can go to Tools -> Nios II Software Build Tools for Eclipse. 

 

Not sure if that helps, but it's a start?
