Abstract
In an example implementation, a method is provided for compiling an HLL source file including function calls to one or more hardware accelerated functions. Function calls in the HLL source file to hardware accelerated functions are identified and grouped into a plurality of subsets for exclusive implementation in programmable logic resources. Sets of configuration data are generated for configuration of the programmable logic resources to implement hardware accelerated functions for the respective subsets of function calls. An interface manager is generated and the identified function calls are replaced with interface code configured to communicate with the interface manager. The interface manager manages configuration of the programmable logic resources to switch between the sets of configuration data to implement hardware accelerated functions for different ones of the subsets.
