HardCloud is a research project conducted at the University of Campinas (IC-UNICAMP) in Brazil. It is based on the open-source LLVM/Clang compiler framework and implements the OpenMP 4.0 Accelerator Programming Model. HardCloud is a subproject of AClang, that introduces a novel and simple mechanism to offload computation to the FPGAs available in the Intel HARP2 platform. This is done by extending OpenMP directives in such a way that the FPGA becomes just another OpenMP acceleration device that can be used directly from any user program.
