An Open-source FPGA Library for Data Sorting

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have garnered significant interest in research on high-performance computing because their flexibility enables the building of application-specific computation pipelines and data supply systems. In addition to flexibility, toolchains for development FPGAs OpenCL been developed offered by FPGA vendors that reduce programming effort required. However, high level abstraction OpenCL-based approach is a disadvantage, making it difficult perform fine-grained performance tuning. this paper, we present one methodologies achieve both reduction cost provision performance. We focus sorting, which basic arithmetic operation, introduce sorting library can be used with model FPGAs. Our has so far only supported integer data, but propose new method supports floating-point data. It consumes at least twice as many hardware resources compared merge sort restructured its operating frequency 1.08x higher throughput three orders magnitude greater than baseline. The source code our open source, application developers around world.
