Abstract
OpenCL program compilation may include generating, using a processor, a register transfer level (RTL) description of a first kernel of a heterogeneous, multiprocessor design and integrating the RTL description of the first kernel with a base platform circuit design. The base platform circuit design provides a static interface within a programmable integrated circuit to a host of the heterogeneous, multiprocessor design. A first configuration bitstream may be generated from the RTL description of the first kernel using the processor. The first configuration bitstream specifies a hardware implementation of the first kernel and supporting data for the configuration bitstream. The first configuration bitstream and the supporting data may be included within a binary container.
