@inproceedings{388, abstract = {{In order to leverage the use of reconfigurable architectures in general-purpose computing, quick and automated methods to find suitable accelerator designs are required. We tackle this challenge in both regards. In order to avoid long synthesis times, we target a vector copro- cessor, implemented on the FPGAs of a Convey HC-1. Previous studies showed that existing tools were not able to accelerate a real-world application with low effort. We present a toolflow to automatically identify suitable loops for vectorization, generate a corresponding hardware/software bipartition, and generate coprocessor code. Where applicable, we leverage outer-loop vectorization. We evaluate our tools with a set of characteristic loops, systematically analyzing different dependency and data layout properties.}}, author = {{Kenter, Tobias and Vaz, Gavin Francis and Plessl, Christian}}, booktitle = {{Proceedings of the International Symposium on Reconfigurable Computing: Architectures, Tools, and Applications (ARC)}}, pages = {{144--155}}, publisher = {{Springer International Publishing}}, title = {{{Partitioning and Vectorizing Binary Applications for a Reconfigurable Vector Computer}}}, doi = {{10.1007/978-3-319-05960-0_13}}, volume = {{8405}}, year = {{2014}}, }
