Honored ContributorPorting GPU kernels to Altera boards
Hello!
I am investigating porting some kernels from AMD GPU to Altera. These kernels make heavy use of OpenCL images and local memory. They require OpenCL 1.2 support. A few questions: What version of OpenCL is supported ? What kind of performance can I expect from OpenCL images ? On GPU, with video memory, images are the preferred way of working with image data. Do people ship OpenCL kernels? Or do they eventually re-write using Verilog or VHDL ? How fast will an OpenCL kernel be relative to the same logic written with VHDL ? Any insight into any/all of these questions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Aaron
