This week’s focus was entirely on getting the Vitis HLS build to work. We made really great progress with converting all the floating point numbers and operations to fixed point ones, stripping the code even further of unnecessary functions, and converting all the math operations from std to hls ones.
We’ve managed to get almost everything working, except for random number generation when making the particles. The goal for the rest of today and tomorrow is to get the Vitis HLS build completely working (which is a must for the interim demo) and have some way of sending the output from the FPGA code to the host computer, which can then render and evaluate the fluid against the baseline CPU version.
