It would only make sense to take something big and powerful and make it faster, right?<\/p>\n<p>We talked Adam Taylor of <a href=\"http:\/\/adiuvoengineering.com\/\">Adiuvo Engineering<\/a> into creating such a demonstration for us. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.khronos.org\/opencl\/\">OpenCL<\/a> is an open source framework from the Khronous Group designed for heterogeneous systems, and at its core is the concept of &#8220;Host&#8221; and &#8220;Kernel&#8221;. When designing systems using a heterogeneous SoC (like in our <a href=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/shop\/genesys-zu-zynq-ultrascale-mpsoc-development-board\/?utm_source=digilent&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=newsletter&amp;utm_content=june_2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Genesyz ZU<\/a>), it&#8217;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<p>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<p>Adam runs through this process in great detail on his Hackster Project titled &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hackster.io\/adam-taylor\/genesys-zu-vitis-accleration-platform-2e86d4#toc-creating-the-base-platform-1\">Genesys ZU Vitis Acceleration Platform<\/a>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style6 like-27883 jlk' data-task='like' data-post_id='27883' data-nonce='712f7a0d3d' rel='nofollow'><img src='https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post-pro\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-27883 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style6 unlike-27883 jlk' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='27883' data-nonce='712f7a0d3d' rel='nofollow'><img src='https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post-pro\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Unlike' \/><span class='unlc-27883 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div> <div class='status-27883 status align-left'>Be the 1st to vote.<\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vitis is Xilinx&#8217;s unified software platform, replete with open source libraries optimized for Xilinx&#8217;s own hardware platforms and pre-built applications.
