Accelerating algorithms and applications on FPGAs

Abstract:

A method for accelerating algorithms and applications on field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The method includes: obtaining, from a host application, by a run-time configurable kernel, implemented on an FPGA, a first set of kernel input data; obtaining, from the host application, by the run-time configurable kernel, a first set of kernel operation parameters; parameterizing the run-time configurable kernel at run-time, using the first set of kernel operation parameters; and performing, by the parameterized run-time configurable kernel, a first kernel operation on the first set of kernel input data to obtain a first set of kernel output data.
