Kiwi HLS (high-level synthesis) - C# programs with FPGA acceleration
- đ¤ Speaker: David Greaves, University of Cambridge
- đ Date & Time: Friday 27 May 2011, 16:00 - 17:00
- đ Venue: SC04, Computer Laboratory, William Gates Building
Abstract
The Kiwi project aims to make reconfigurable computing technology including Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) more accessible to mainstream programmers. FPG As have a huge potential for quickly performing many interesting computations in parallel but their exploitation by computer programmers is limited by the need to think like a hardware engineer and the need to use hardware description languages rather than conventional programming languages.
David will descripe the multi-stage compilation process used in the KiwiC compiler and report on recent work to enable DLLs from an application to be allocated to different FPGA nodes interconnected by Ethernet.
