SpExSim: assessing kernel suitability for C-based high-level hardware synthesis

Refactoring software to heterogeneous parallel platforms

“…In "SpExSim: assessing kernel suitability for C-based high-level hardware synthesis" [11], Oppermann et al introduce techniques for performing surveys on existing legacy C codebases that could be accelerated by FPGA-based compute units. Their approach focuses on high-level synthesis of source code to minimize development costs and efforts.…”
