Emulate Pipe Depth
When you compile your kernel for emulation, the default pipe depth is different from the default pipe depth generated when your kernel is compiled for hardware. You can change this behavior when you compile your kernel for emulation with the
CL_CONFIG_CHANNEL_DEPTH_EMULATION_MODE
environment variable.
For pipes, you must set the
CL_CONFIG_CHANNEL_DEPTH_EMULATION_MODE
environment variable before running the host program.
The
CL_CONFIG_CHANNEL_DEPTH_EMULATION_MODE
environment variable accepts the following values:
Environment Variable
| Description
|
|---|---|
ignoredepth | All pipes are given a pipe depth chosen to provide the fastest execution time for your kernel emulation. Any explicitly set pipe depth attribute is ignored. This value is used by default if the
CL_CONFIG_CHANNEL_DEPTH_EMULATION_MODE environment variable is not set.
|
default | Pipes with an explicit depth attribute have their specified depth. Pipes without a specified depth are given a default pipe depth that is chosen to provide the fastest execution time for your kernel emulation.
|
strict | All pipe depths in the emulation are given a depth that matches the depth given for the FPGA compilation.
