▌████ RELEASE NOTES
▌████
▌████ This is a book about software programming for FPGAs. To be more
▌████ specific, this book is about using parallel programming techniques
▌████ in combination with the C language to create FPGA-accelerated
▌████ software applications.
▌████ We have written this book to help bridge the gapùthe large chasm
▌████ in factùthat exists between software development methods and
▌████ philosophies, and the methods and philosophies of FPGA-based
▌████ digital design. We understand that as a result we may be writing
▌████ to two quite different audiences: software application developers
▌████ and digital hardware designers.
▌████ For software engineers, our goal is to present FPGAs as
▌████ software-programmable computing resources. We hope to show that
▌████ these devices, when programmed using appropriate methods, are not
▌████ so different from other non-traditional computing platforms, such
▌████ as DSPs. We will show, through example, that software development
▌████ methods and software languages can be used in a practical way to
▌████ create FPGA-based, high performance computing applications,
▌████ without a deep knowledge of hardware design.
▌████ For hardware designers our intent is similar, but with a caveat;
▌████ we are not trying to replace your existing methods of design or
▌████ suggest that the methods and tools described in this book
▌████ represent a "next wave" of hardware engineering. After all, if you
▌████ are an FPGA designer using VHDL or Verilog to create complex
▌████ electronic systems then the title of this book, Practical FPGA
▌████ Programming in C, may sound like an oxymoron. How can C, a
▌████ software programming language, be a practical way to describe
▌████ digital electronic hardware? The truth is, sometimes the explicit
▌████ and precise descriptions offered by hardware description languages
▌████ (HDLs) are essential to achieve designs goals. But, as we'll see,
▌████ this explicit control over hardware is not always necessary. In
▌████ the same way that one might first write software in C and then
▌████ recode key portions in assembler, the hardware designer can
▌████ benefit from tools that allow them to mix high-level and low-level
▌████ descriptions as needed to meet design goals as quickly as
▌████ possible. Even when the entire hardware design will be eventually
▌████ be recoded with a lower-level HDL, high-level design languages
▌████ allow hardware engineers to rapidly explore the design space and
▌████ create working prototypes.
▌████ So for you, the experienced hardware engineer, we'll state right
▌████ up front that we agree with you. We do not believe that C and C++
▌████ (as used by legions of programmers worldwide) are practical
▌████ replacements for VHDL, Verilog or any other HDL. And we agree with
▌████ you that C and C++ may not play a leading, or perhaps even
▌████ significant, role as a design entry language for general-purpose
▌████ ASIC and FPGA design, at least not as we know such design today.
▌████ Nevertheless we believe there is a place for C-based design in a
▌████ hardware design flow. Still not convinced? Stay with us for a
