If there is a floating-point division operation in your oneAPI design, you may find inconsistent results between oneAPI FPGA hardware and the emulator due to the two compilation modes having different rounding modes of floating-point operations.
A sample code and result is shown below:
Code: float res = 1.0f/1272;
Output result: The emulator result is 0.000786163, but the hardware result is 0.000786164
To work around this problem, you should use the "-fp-model=precise -no-fma" and "-Xsrounding=ieee" option in your compile command.
Example command:
icpx -fsycl -fintelfpga -Xshardware -Xsrounding=ieee -fp-model= precise -no-fma <source_file>.cpp
This information is scheduled to be added in a future release of the FPGA Optimization Guide for oneAPI Toolkits user guide.
