Host Code Updates - 2023.1 English

To access the RTL-based kernel, the host code needs to be updated. The updates have been done in the host_step2.cpp file located in the following directory.

./reference-files/src/host/

The updates includes additional OpenCL API calls briefly described below. The additional OpenCL API calls are identical to the ones used for the C++ based kernel with the arguments changed for the RTL-based kernel.

cl::Program::Binaries bins;
bins.push_back({buf,nb});
cl::Program program(context, devices, bins);

The following code gets the rtl_kernel_wizard_0 object from the program and assigns the name krnl_const_add on line 198. The rtl_kernel_wizard_0 object name matches the name of the kernel you generated with the RTL Wizard.

cl::Kernel krnl_const_add(program,"rtl_kernel_wizard_0");

Next, define the krnl_const_add kernel arguments on line 219.

NOTE: In the host code, the buffer buffer_result is passed directly from the C kernel to the RTL kernel through DDR without being moved back to the host memory.

krnl_const_add.setArg(0,buffer_result);

Launch the krnl_const_add kernel on line 222.

q.enqueueTask(krnl_const_add);
