SVM(shared virtual memory) available on OpenCL FPGA?

SVM OBFS, This project requires SVM functionality, They are using HARPv2 as per ReadMe, which is xeon+Arria10 FPGA. Even in Devcloud, we have Xeon+ A10 configuration. I know Intel supports OpenCL 1...

    My bad, HARPv2 is "Xeon CPU+arria10 FPGA" on a single chip. it seems SVM functionality is not yet there on Intel FPGAs on devcloud, as Intel is still stuck at OpenCL 1.0 or 1.2 and not fully confronted to OpenCL 2 or 3, Makes sense as intel shifted to OneAPI leaving OpenCL.

Hi @KishoreVarma,


Thank you for posting in Intel community forum and hope all is well.

It seems that the mention references project are not coming from Intel reference design, hence we have limited knowledge on the project to further advise on. However we would try our best to support on the queries you have.


For the mention queries, there is a details explanation on how to utilize SVM on opencl as below:

- https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/opencl-20-shared-virtual-memory-overview.html

Please do refer to the section 'Detecting the Supported SVM Type' to check on the availability on the device.

Hope that helps.


Best Wishes
