Abstract

This paper presents an OpenCL-based software framework which we have developed for a heterogeneous multicore architecture on Zynq-7000 SoC. In this work, the heterogeneous architecture is designed with two hard-macro Cortex-A9 cores and two soft-macro MicroBlaze cores. A major advantage of our OpenCL framework is that it can execute OpenCL kernel programs in three ways. Experiments show the usefulness of the OpenCL framework.
