L3 API are more scalable solutions to achieve maximum performance with optimized host and kernel for an end to end solution. Here we are targeting more number of compute units to get the maximum throughput and get to know bandwidth saturation for the design.
This demo is aimed at showcasing Xilinx Alveo U250 acceleration of Gzip_app and Xilinx Alveo U50 (HBM Platform) acceleration of Gzip_hbm for both compression and decompression, it also supports Zlib with a host argument switch.
