Towards Performance Characterization of FPGAs in Context of HPC using OpenCL Benchmarks
Marius Meyer · 2021
OpenCL-based HLS frameworks are known to reduce the development effort for FPGAs while offering good quality results. The upcoming trend to equip heterogeneous compute clusters with hybrid networks for inter-CPU and inter-FPGA communication allows scaling FPGA workloads beyond a single FPGA. However, there is no tool for performance characterization of those FPGA-accelerated systems and their communication networks yet.
