Can I read and write buffers simultaneously with OpenCL.

During the work with my FPGA Board (DE5net from Terasic with a StratixV FPGA from 2012) there occured a few more questions:

I want to implement an algorithm for bioinformatics. According to our theoretical analysis the transfer rate from the host to the board via PCIe will be the bottleneck. So I need to stream into the FPGA with the peak performance of PCIe. Furthermore I have to execute several kernel parallel. So is it possible, the my board is simply too old and the available OpenCL implementation does not satisfy this demand? If my board is too old, do you could redommend me one which is more appropriate for me?

Furthermore I'm wondering if you have a redbook for programming this board with OpenCL and a full documentation of the exact implementation of OpenCl?

Because the OpenCL Implementation for my board does only support PCIe gen2 I took also a look at Intel HLS because there PCIe gen3 is available. Do you have a full documentation of it? I didn't find any.
