Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) In building-cube method (BCM), which is one of the adaptive mesh refinement, the computational region is divided into a number of sub-domains with various sizes. One of advantages of the BCM that it suits parallel processing, due to each sub-domain has a similar data size and a similar computing flow in spite of the difference in size. This paper presents implementation of a class library framework on a high-level synthesis system, which aims at enabling easy FPGA implementation of BCM-based stencil computation. The proposed framework is evaluated with a heat conduction simulation as a benchmark application in terms of computing performance, memory performance and hardware amount, so that overheads of a mechanism of data exchange between sub-domains with different size are revealed.
