Array Histogram Example - using SMI protocol

In this example some random sample data is sent to the FPGA, it is then sorted into bins to create a histogram. The process of sorting the data has been parallelized to work efficiently on the FPGA – the sample data is held in an array, and while the FPGA reads the sample data in from the array it concurrently sorts the data and writes it back into a new channel.

Structure

This directory contains code for an FPGA located at main.go. It also has a command, test-histogram located at cmd/test-histogram/main.go

Testing

To run this example in a simulator, execute the following:

reco test test-histogram

This will simulate the code running on an FPGA using a hardware simulator, and test it using the test-histogram command.

Building

reco build

This will build your commands and FPGA code for execution on hardware.
