OpenCL 2.0 for FPGAs using OCLAcc

Evaluation of ‘OpenCL for FPGA’ for Data Acquisition and Acceleration in High Energy Physics

The increase in the data acquisition and processing needs of High Energy Physics experiments has made it more essential to use FPGAs to meet those needs. However harnessing the capabilities of the FPGAs has been hard for anyone but expert FPGA developers. The arrival of OpenCL with the two major FPGA vendors supporting it, offers an easy software-based approach to taking advantage of FPGAs in a...

40Gbit AES Encryption Using OpenCL and FPGAs

OpenCL for FPGAs: Prototyping a Compiler

Hardware acceleration using FPGAs has shown orders of magnitude reduction in runtime of computationally-intensive applications in comparison to traditional stand-alone computers [1]. This is possible because on an FPGA many computations can be performed at the same time in a trulyparallel fashion. However, parallel computation at a hardware level requires a great deal of expertise, which limits...

High-performance Dynamic Programming on FPGAs with OpenCL

Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) provide reconfigurable computing fabrics that can be tailored to a wide range of time and power sensitive applications. Traditionally, programming FPGAs required an expertise in complex hardware description languages (HDLs) or proprietary high-level synthesis (HLS) tools. Recently, Altera released the worlds first OpenCL conformant SDK for FPGAs. OpenCL is...

OpenCL-Based Design of an FPGA Accelerator for Phase-Based Correspondence Matching

This paper proposes a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) implementation of the stereo correspondence matching using Phase-Only Correlation (POC). The use of high-accuracy stereo correspondence matching based on POC makes it possible to measure accurate 3D shape of an object using stereo vision. The drawback of the POC-based approach is its high computational cost. To address this problem, we ...
