OpenCL for FPGAs

Read more about OpenCL and High-Level Synthesis for FPGAs;

Altera Corporation has a development program focused on the Open Computing Language (OpenCL™) standard for FPGAs and SoC FPGAs. Altera's OpenCL program combines the parallel performance capability of FPGAs with the OpenCL standard to enable powerful system acceleration.

Hardware acceleration using FPGAs has shown orders of magnitude reduction in runtime of computationally-intensive applications in comparison to traditional stand-alone computers. This is possible because on an FPGA many com- putations can be performed at the same time in a truly- parallel fashion.

They have been successfully used to accelerate computation in network packet processing, medical imaging, molecular dynamics and in many other fields in comparison to workstation computers.

Stream Computing

Read some papers from “Application Developer News”

These papers deal with Data Flow based computing. In early seventies the Flow-Based Programming was invented by Paul Morrison and was used in financial sector over long period. Now, in the context of Big Data and hardware accelerators using Field Programmable Gate Arrays, the same concept of data flow are used for hardware design.
