FPGA reconfiguration for OpenCL logic

Hello, I am Yoji Yamato in Japan. I used Dell PowerEdge R740 with Intel FPGA PAC D5005 (Intel FPGA Stratix). I would like to verify FPGA reconfiguration. I implemented FPGA logic by OpenCL. Wh...

You don't need to do anything in particular. As long as you have set up your board correctly and have followed the Intel's documentation to write your host code, compile your kernel offline, and load the compiled binary at run-time, the clCreateProgramWithBinary() in your host code will automatically reconfigure the FPGA at run-time through PCI-E.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I would like to verify reconfiguration from one OpenCL application to another OpenCL application.
    Currently, I am looking for a way to run multiple applications (IPs) in parallel without conflict. Can clCreateProgramWithBinary() run multiple applications in parallel ?

      Hello,

      How about this one ?
      Let me update the question.

      I would like to verify "dynamic-reconfiguration" from one OpenCL application to another OpenCL application.
      Currently, I am looking for a way to run multiple applications (IPs) in parallel without conflict. Can clCreateProgramWithBinary() run multiple applications in parallel ?
      If there are any samples of dynamic-reconfiguration from one OpenCL application to another OpenCL application, could you tell me the sample information ?
      I only found a reconfiguration sample of LED but it is not written by OpenCL.

      Best regards,

      Yoji
