Intel Quartus Prime and Intel one API base toolkit

Hi,

My project is to develop an algorithm in c++ and deploy in intel FPGA for high speed performance.I could see that there are two softwares that could be used to achieve this.

1) Intel one API base toolkit and add on to Intel one API base toolkit for FPGA

2) Intel Quartus Prime Pro and Intel HLS compiler

May I know which one of these will be more advantageous to use in my case?

    If you are proficient in C++, then using DPC++/SYCL C++ is probably the best option. Do note that the performance you will achieve has little to do with which of Intel's tools you use since they (OpenCL, C/C++ HLS, DPC++/SYCL C++) all use the same compiler backend. The final performance pretty much completely depends on how you write your code and optimize it to map well to the architecture of an FPGA.

  • Hi @student1,

    @student1 Where do you plan the deployment ?

    Do you have a FPGA Develpment Kit, if Yes you can try HLS

    If you plan to use Devcould then use OneAPI

    Thanks for the reply.

    I am planning to use intel PAC FPGA. May I know which one gives more control to the programmer in terms of 1) code parallelization 2) FPGA development?

    Thank you.

  • Hi @student1,

    As the interest you mention, would recommend OneAPI, as it provide more productivity and efficient for accelerator devices.
