DESIGN FILES

Application code is located in the src directory. Accelerator binary files will be compiled to the xclbin directory. The xclbin directory is required by the Makefile and its contents will be filled during compilation. A listing of all the files in this example is shown below

src/host.cpp
src/vector_addition.cpp
src/vector_addition_BAD.cpp

COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS

Once the environment has been configured, the application can be executed by

./loop_pipeline <vector_addition XCLBIN>
