Abstract

We are proposing a shared-memory communication infrastructure that provides a common parallel programming interface for FPGA and CPU components in a heterogeneous system. Our intent is to ease the integration of reconfigurable hardware into parallel programming models like Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS). For this purpose, we introduce a remote memory access component based on Active Messages that implements the core API of the Berkeley GASNet communication library, and a simple controller that manages communication and synchronization for custom FPGA cores. We demonstrate how these components deliver a simple and easily configurable communication mechanism between distributed memories in a multi-FPGA system with processors as well as custom hardware nodes.
