- \section FPGA FPGA
- The use of specialized hardware such as accelerators or coprocessors offers an
- interesting approach to overcome the physical limits encountered by processor
- architects. As a result, many machines are now equipped with one or several
- accelerators (e.g. a GPU), in addition to the usual processor(s). While a lot of
- efforts have been devoted to offload computation onto such accelerators, very
- little attention as been paid to portability concerns on the one hand, and to the
- possibility of having heterogeneous accelerators and processors to interact on the other hand.
- In addition, StarPU comes with programming language support, in the form of an OpenCL front-end (\ref FPGAextensions).
- \section PortingApplicationsToFPGA Porting Applications To FPGA
- The way to port an application to FPGA is to set the field
- starpu_codelet::fpga_funcs, to provide StarPU with the function
- for FPGA implementation, so for instance:
- \verbatim
- struct starpu_codelet cl =
- {
- .fpga_funcs = {myfunc},
- .nbuffers = 1,
- }
- \endverbatim
