The new TaPaSCo release 2018.2 contains a number of new features and improvements:

  • Features:

    • Support for SFP+ transceivers: Processing elements can now be connected to SFP+ transceivers on the FPGA board via AXI4 stream connections. The new features supports connection of multiple PEs to the same transceiver using different arbitration schemes as well as the connection of a single PE to multiple transceivers.

    • New features in the CLI application: The command-line interface of TaPaSCo has been improved with a number of small new features, such as the --skipEvaluation-flag for HLS runs.

  • Platforms: The new release adds support for a number of new platforms:

    • Xilinx Virtex Ultrascale+ VCU108 (vcu108)
    • Xilinx Virtex Ultrascale+ VCU108 (vcu108)
    • Xilinx Virtex Ultrascale+ VCU1525 (vcu1525)
    • Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC ZCU102 (zcu102)
    • Xilinx Alveo U250 (au250)
  • Stability improvements: The new release fixes a number of bugs (see the issue tracker) and significantly improves the overall stability of TaPaSCo. We have also extended our CI pipeline to make sure that in the future we catch bugs as early as possible.

We provide archives containing packages for the TaPaSCo runtime as well as the kernel module for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Fedora Workstation 30 for download here. Check out the CI pipeline artifacts for binaries for even more OS versions (Ubuntu & Fedora).
