SUMMARY:Kiwi HLS (high-level synthesis) -  C# programs with FPGA accelerat
 ion - David Greaves\, University of Cambridge

DESCRIPTION:The Kiwi project aims to make reconfigurable computing technol
 ogy including Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) more accessible to ma
 instream programmers. FPGAs have a huge potential for quickly performing m
 any interesting computations in parallel but their exploitation by compute
 r programmers is limited by the need to think like a hardware engineer and
  the need to use hardware description languages rather than conventional p
 rogramming languages.\n\nDavid will descripe the multi-stage compilation p
 rocess used in the KiwiC compiler and report on recent work to enable DLLs
  from an application to be allocated to different FPGA nodes interconnecte
 d by Ethernet.
