10 years agoNevermind about that.
When you set __attribute__((num_copies(n)) and get the compilation/synthesis/P&R to go through, you get n compute units on the kernel. AFAIK, you could be seeing the number of compute units of the bitstream that was flashed on the board so that you can program it on-the-fly. I'd say if you were to manually flash with a bitstream with a kernel with N compute units you'd see CL_DEVICE_MAX_COMPUTE_UNITS = N. Still, that doesn't tell you much, since you'll be reconfiguring the FPGA for all the kernel executions performed... As a disclaimer, I haven't used AOCL since 13.0sp1.
