LAB

Heterogeneous Processing Platform (HPP)

The Heterogeneous Parallel Platform (HPP) is a highly customizable, flexible and extensible single node computing system integrating a variety of different types of computational units. The HPP brings together the latest technologies in multi-core CPUs, many-core GPUs, application-specific many-cores CPUs and FPGAs in a single prevalidated platform. The HPP development environment includes a complete ecosystem of tools, OS, hardware/Software IPs and reference designs.
