Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Today's information and communication society requires more and higher-performance computing devices with the constraint of lower power consumption. Recent studies reveal efficiency of hardware accelerators implemented on Field-programmable gate array (FPGA). However, HW/SW co-design is still difficult because of the gap between hardware and software development methods. Therefore, we have proposed a heterogeneous computing oriented development environment named hCODE. FPGA accelerators is shared by the hCODE repository. In this paper, we propose methodology and tools to use the open-source accelerators and show that the accelerators can be easily integrated with the software.
