3.5.3.1.1 Threaded Hardware Modules
(Ask a Question)When threads are used in software, SmartHLS™ automatically compiles them to concurrently executing modules. This is synonymous to how multiple threads are compiled to execute on multiple processor cores in software. By default, each thread in software becomes an independent hardware module. For example, forking three threads of function a in software creates three concurrently executing instances of module a in hardware.
