11This task pools the features dedicated to HPC system design. It is described on
12figures~\ref{coach-flow} and \ref{archi-hpc}. It consists in
13\begin{itemize}
14\item Helping the HPC designer to find a good partition of the initial application
15    (figure~\ref{archi-hpc}).
16\item Providing communication schemes between the software part running on the PC and the
17FPGA-SoC.
18\item Implementing the communication scheme at all levels: partition help, software
19implementation both on the PC and in the operating system of the FPGA-SoC, hardware.
20\item Providing support for dynamic partial reconfiguration of \xilinx FPGA in order
21to optimize FPGA ressource usage.
22\end{itemize}
23
24The low level hardware transmission support will be the PCI/X bus which allows high bit-rate
25transfers. The reasons of this choices are that both ALTERA and Xilinx provide PCI/X IP for
26their FPGA and that GPU HPC softwares use also it.
27This will allow us at least to be inspired by GPU communication schemes and may be to reuse
28parts of the GPU softwares.
