Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) CPU-FPGA tightly coupled architecture is an emerging architecture where FPGA is tightly coupled with CPU. We introduce an acceleration method that exploits the CPU-FPGA tightly coupled architecture. The advantages of such CPU-FPGA tightly coupled architecture include a broadband interconnect for the main memory space shared by CPU and FPGA. However, it requires careful design of both hardware and software to fully exploit the potential communication performance of the architecture. We developed a data packing technique to improve the efficiency of communication, and communication scheme that utilizes ring queues. We applied the developed techniques to an IoT application that performs the high-accuracy analysis of real world and confirmed that they are effective for accelerating the kernel function of the application.
