All Programmable Abstractions: Programming Your Way

摘要

Today's software-defined development environments enable new levels of design team productivity and expand the reach of Programmable FPGAs, SoCs and 3D ICs to a much larger user base of software engineers. One new development environment -SDAccel™ - enables data centre equipment programmers with no FPGA experience to program FPGAs for data centre and cloud computing infrastructure equipment using OpenCL™, C or C++. The resulting FPGA-based equipment will offer far superior performance per watt (performance/watt) than GPU- and CPU-based equipment. A second development environment, SDSoC™, enables software developers-again, with no FPGA experience-to create systems in C or C++ targeting All Programmable SoC and MPSoC platforms from Xilinx and third-party platform developers.
