Traditionally, FPGAs were programmed using low-level Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) like Verilog or VHDL, which made it extremely difficult to design, build and maintain systems for FPGAs. However, the recent release of OpenCL SDKs by FPGA vendors like Xilinx and Altera have significantly imp...
