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 ?
