Design of FPGA-Based Computing Systems with OpenCL

by Hasitha Muthumala Waidyasooriya, Masanori Hariyama, Kunio Uchiyama

This book provides wide knowledge about designing FPGA-based heterogeneous computing systems, using a high-level design environment based on OpenCL (Open Computing language), which is called OpenCL for FPGA. The OpenCL-based design methodology will be the key technology to exploit the potential of FPGAs in various applications such as low-power embedded applications and high-performance computing. By understanding the OpenCL-based design methodology, readers can design an entire FPGA-based computing system more easily compared to the conventional HDL-based design, because OpenCL for FPGA takes care of computation on a host, data transfer between a host and an FPGA, computation on an FPGA with a capable of accessing external DDR memories.

 In the step-by-step way, readers can understand

Not great. Definitely an academic writing it. Glosses over creating the BSP section for a custom board and assumes you want to test with one specific devboard. Not worth it over Intel's web guides
