We're trying to convert
functions to hardware, and exposing some of the underlying semantics
is an okay thing to do.
To learn a new language, the performance gain would have to be very
serious.
I'm skipping the GPU entirely and proposing that we convert to FPGA
logic.
Given these three constraints, I agree that a Limited C->Verilog
converter is probably the best option.
I didn't realize that we were just using FPGA Logic, but I guess that
makes sense because it is more efficient, and more configurable, than
going through a GPU. However, I still think we should focus more on
getting the GPU working, and this has the nice side-effect of letting
us use BrookGPU. Once we get the GPU working, the OHF should have
enough followers to support any number of languages that people feel
like implementing.
As a side note, isn't this all that SystemC is? I have never even
looked at SystemC, but given the name it seems like this is the goal.
