Frequent ContributorI see. I think Intel themselves probably have non-public BSPs for the reference boards with support for different components. Though, I am not sure how they could be requested now that they don't accept service requests from public anymore.
Regarding the paper, they published it at a scientific conference, hence it is behind the paywall of the publisher. If you search "Peter Yiannacouras" in google, you can find his Linkedin profile and his personal page on University of Toronto's website with his old email address; if that didn't work, you can try reaching out to him on Linkedin.
P.S. Have you successfully used the network I/O channels provided by your third-party board? From what I know, the "free" network I/O channels you get with such boards only allow communication at physical layer and you will have to perform framing and handle all the control signals yourself (in OpenCL). Furthermore, there is no flow control. There is another network I/O channel that also provides the MAC layer protocol and significantly simplifies usage but that requires Intel's ultra-expensive low-latency MAC license. But still, there is no flow control.
