---|
| 11 | This task pools the features dedicated to HPC system design. It is described on |
---|
| 12 | figures~\ref{coach-flow} and \ref{archi-hpc}. It consists in |
---|
| 13 | \begin{itemize} |
---|
[111] | 14 | \item Providing a software tool that helps the HPC designer to find a good partition of the initial application |
---|
[56] | 15 | (figure~\ref{archi-hpc}). |
---|
| 16 | \item Providing communication schemes between the software part running on the PC and the |
---|
[112] | 17 | FPGA-SoC. \mustbecompleted{ FIXME :: Quelle difference avec l'item qui suit ???} |
---|
[38] | 18 | \item Implementing the communication scheme at all levels: partition help, software |
---|
[23] | 19 | implementation both on the PC and in the operating system of the FPGA-SoC, hardware. |
---|
[63] | 20 | \item Providing support for dynamic partial reconfiguration of \xilinx FPGA in order |
---|
| 21 | to optimize FPGA ressource usage. |
---|
[23] | 22 | \end{itemize} |
---|
[56] | 23 | |
---|
[23] | 24 | The low level hardware transmission support will be the PCI/X bus which allows high bit-rate |
---|
| 25 | transfers. The reasons of this choices are that both ALTERA and Xilinx provide PCI/X IP for |
---|
| 26 | their FPGA and that GPU HPC softwares use also it. |
---|
