Features of the s10_ref Reference Platform:
- OpenCL Host
The s10_ref Reference Platform uses a PCIe-based host that connects to the Intel® Stratix® 10 PCIe Gen3x8 hard IP core.
- OpenCL Global Memory
The hardware provides one 2-gigabyte (GB) DDR4 SDRAM daughtercard that is mounted on the HiLo connector and instantiated in the design using Intel® Stratix® 10 External Memory Interface IP (J14 in Hardware Features of the Intel® Stratix® 10 GX FPGA Development Kit).
- FPGA Programming
Via external cable and the Intel® Stratix® 10 GX FPGA Development Kit's on-board Intel® FPGA Download Cable II interface.
- Guaranteed Timing
The s10_ref Reference Platform relies on the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition compilation flow to provide guaranteed timing closure. The timing-clean s10_ref Reference Platform is preserved in the form of a precompiled post-fit netlist (that is, the base.qdb Intel® Quartus® Prime Database Export File). The Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ Offline Compiler imports this preserved post-fit netlist into each OpenCL kernel compilation.
