  bibo_abstract:
  - "Although the benefits of FPGAs for accelerating scientific codes are widely acknowledged,
    the use of FPGA accelerators in scientific computing is not widespread because
    reaping these benefits requires knowledge of hardware design methods and tools
    that is typically not available with domain scientists. A promising but hardly
    investigated approach is to develop tool flows that keep the common languages
    for scientific code (C,C++, and Fortran) and allow the developer to augment the
    source code with OpenMPlike directives for instructing the compiler which parts
    of the application shall be offloaded the FPGA accelerator.\r\nIn this work we
    study whether the promise of effective FPGA acceleration with an OpenMP-like programming
    effort\r\ncan actually be held. Our target system is the Convey HC-1 reconfigurable
    computer for which an OpenMP-like\r\nprogramming environment exists. As case study
    we use an application from computational nanophotonics. Our results\r\nshow that
    a developer without previous FPGA experience could create an FPGA-accelerated
    application that is competitive to an optimized OpenMP-parallelized CPU version
    running on a two socket quad-core server. Finally, we discuss our experiences
    with this tool flow and the Convey HC-1 from a productivity and economic point
    of view.@eng"
