By using the AOC compiler, the OpenCL kernel source code compile as hardware configuration file.
This file will be downloaded to the FPGA. Then, the target device is run based on the algorithms and library used.
Hence,it can be conclude that the OpenCL kernel is synthesized as hardware after compile.
