Design of FPGA-Based Computing Systems with OpenCL

Beschreibung

This book provides wide knowledge about designing FPGA-based heterogeneous computing systems, using a high-level design environment based on OpenCL (Open Computing language), which is called OpenCL for FPGA. The OpenCL-based design methodology will be the key technology to exploit the potential of FPGAs in various applications such as low-power embedded applications and high-performance computing. By understanding the OpenCL-based design methodology, readers can design an entire FPGA-based computing system more easily compared to the conventional HDL-based design, because OpenCL for FPGA takes care of computation on a host, data transfer between a host and an FPGA, computation on an FPGA with a capable of accessing external DDR memories.

In the step-by-step way, readers can understand followings:

• how to set up the design environment
  
• how to write better codes systematically considering architectural constraints
• how to design practical applications
  

• Provides readers with an overview and practical examples of OpenCL-based design methodologies for FPGA-based computing systems;
  
• Helps software engineers to understand systematically patterns of parallel processing and implement such patterns using OpenCL for FPGAs;
  
• Includes a variety of design examples of embedded applications such as image processing, and high-performance computing.
