Proposal of Automatic Offloading for Function Blocks of Applications
share
When using heterogeneous hardware other than CPUs, barriers of technical skills such as OpenCL are high. Based on that, I have proposed environment adaptive software that enables automatic conversion, configuration, and high-performance operation of once written code, according to the hardware to be placed. Partly of the offloading to the GPU was automated previously. In this paper, I propose and evaluate an automatic extraction method of appropriate offload target loop statements of source code as the first step of offloading to FPGA. I evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method in multiple applications.
