Compiler error during routing on Intel DevCloud

[DDIAKITE]

Hi,

I am having some quartus fitter issues when compiling my OpenCL kernel on Intel DevCloud Stratix 10 (The command line "aoc -v -report -profile -O3 -fp-relaxed backprojection3D_kernel.cl -o bin/backprojection3D_kernel.aocx -board="pac_s10_dc" was used). The compiler outpout below:

I think it's due to the high logic utilization but I'm not sure if Stratix 10 has this issue.

Any help would appreciate.

Thank you !

Hi,

Can you attached your kernal files to see if we can duplicate it?

The error message show: Error: An error occurred during routing

seems like the design was unable to route, might due to congestion issue. Can you try to reduce some code in your kernel?

Thanks

Hi,

I changed my kernel code a bit, the kernel contains four nested loops, and I had many versions for optimizations purpose. It worked when I changed the combination of the loops unrolling factors. The two innermost loops of the kernel version, which does not route, had an unrolling factor of 8 each.

Thank you!
