This project implements the N^2 formulation of N-body simulation.

Since the project requires reading sets of 3-dimensional coordinates (12 bytes), a Vivado IP is used for the data width conversion. This is done by using the Vitis kernel wizard, then importing the HLS sources into the project, and packaging this as an RTL kernel.

Steps to build kernel:

• make synthesize_nbody
• make setup_project
• make package_kernel
• make build_kernel

This project will only work with Vitis (i.e., not SDx or SDAccel), and has only been tested with Vitis 2019.2.
