The Vitis™ core development kit supports heterogeneous computing using a Xilinx provided programming interface, or the industry standard OpenCL™ framework (https://www.khronos.org/opencl/). The host program executes on the processor (x86 or Arm® ) and offloads compute intensive tasks through Xilinx Runtime (XRT) to execute on a hardware kernel running on programmable logic (PL) of a Xilinx device.
