Park, Joonseok ; Diniz, Pedro C.
Abstract :
The significant acceleration of code containing pointer-based data structures is beyond the reach of most high-level synthesis tools, yet a large amount of legacy scientific computing code contains these structures. This article presents a method to cope with such code within a reconfigurable computing context.
