Compile in Seconds and Run on an FPGA with DynaRapid

2025

Abstract

FPGAs are highly versatile devices, but their backend compilation process is significantly time-consuming. While software code compilation may take just a few seconds, FPGA compilation times can often span from several minutes to hours due to the complexity of the underlying toolchain and the ever-growing device capacity. DynaRapid 1 is a very fast compilation methodology that generates, in a matter of seconds, placed-and-routed kernel designs for AMD FPGAs [1] The DynaRapid workflow is illustrated in Figure 1.

Compiler

In computing, a compiler is a computer program that translates computer code written in one programming language (the source language) into another language (the target language). The name "compiler" is primarily used for programs that translate source code from a high-level programming language to a low-level programming language (e.g. assembly language, object code, or machine code) to create an executable program. There are many different types of compilers which produce output in different useful forms.

AMD

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., commonly abbreviated as AMD, is an American multinational semiconductor company based in Santa Clara, California, that develops computer processors and related technologies for business and consumer markets. The company was founded in 1969 by Jerry Sanders and a group of other technology professionals. AMD's early products were primarily memory chips and other components for computers. The company later expanded into the microprocessor market, competing with Intel, its main rival in the industry.

Just-in-time compilation

In computing, just-in-time (JIT) compilation (also dynamic translation or run-time compilations) is compilation (of computer code) during execution of a program (at run time) rather than before execution. This may consist of source code translation but is more commonly bytecode translation to machine code, which is then executed directly. A system implementing a JIT compiler typically continuously analyses the code being executed and identifies parts of the code where the speedup gained from compilation or recompilation would outweigh the overhead of compiling that code.
