Vitis is Xilinx’s unified software platform<\/a>, replete with open source libraries optimized for Xilinx’s own hardware platforms and pre-built applications. The Genesys ZU<\/a> is our “kitchen sink” development board boasting oodles of peripherals and connectors powered by a Xilinx UltraScale+ 3EG MPSoC<\/a>. It would only make sense to take something big and powerful and make it faster, right?<\/p>\n

We talked Adam Taylor of Adiuvo Engineering<\/a> into creating such a demonstration for us. OpenCL<\/a> is an open source framework from the Khronous Group designed for heterogeneous systems, and at its core is the concept of “Host” and “Kernel”. When designing systems using a heterogeneous SoC (like in our Genesyz ZU<\/a>), it’s possible to accelerate algorithms from the processor to programmable logic using OpenCL for development of the processing system (Host) and programmable logic (kernel).<\/p>\n

To get started developing using the Vitis OpenCL acceleration flow on the Genesys ZU you first need to create a base Genesys ZU Vitis platform. Secondly, you must configure PetaLinux targeting the ZU. Then, the Vitis platform needs to be created and the project run.<\/p>\n

Adam runs through this process in great detail on his Hackster Project titled “Genesys ZU Vitis Acceleration Platform<\/a>“.<\/p>\n
