     5=== Description ===
    46Compute servers in COSMOS, and cloud computing nodes in ORBIT Sandbox 9 are equipped with Alveo U200 accelerator cards (with Virtex UltraScale+ XCU200-2FSGD2104E FPGA). These cards can be used to accelerate compute-intensive applications such as d machine learning, and video processing. They are connected to the Intel Xeon host CPU over PCI Express® (PCIe) Gen3x16 bus.

    68This tutorial demonstrates how to run an accelerated FPGA kernel on the above platform. Vitis unified software platform 2019.2 is used for developing and deploying the application.

     10=== Prerequisites ===
    911In order to access the test bed, create a reservation and have it approved by the reservation service. Access to the resources is granted after the reservation is confirmed. Please follow the process shown on [wiki:cosmos_workflow the COSMOS work flow page] to get started.

     17
     18Follow the steps below to gain access to the [wiki:/hardware/Domains/sb1 sandbox 1 console] and set up nodes with appropriate images.
     19 1. If you don't have one already, sign up for a [https://www.cosmos-lab.org/portal-2/ COSMOS account]
     20 1. [wiki:/GettingStarted#MakeaReservation Create a resource reservation] on sandbox 1
     21 1. [Documentation/Short/Login Login] into sandbox 1 console (console.sb1.cosmos-lab.org) with two SSH sessions.
     22 1. Make sure all the nodes and devices used in the experiment are turned off:
     23{{{#!shell
     24omf tell -a offh -t srv3-lg1,srv4-lg1,rfdev3-1,rfdev3-2,rfdev3-5,rfdev3-6 
     25}}}
     26 1. The image sivers_sb1_cosmos.ndz is [baseline_uhd.ndz] with Sivers control software installed.   
     27  Load sivers_sb1_cosmos.ndz on srv3,srv4. 
     28{{{#!shell
     29omf load -i sivers_sb1_cosmos.ndz -t srv3-lg1,srv4-lg1
     30}}}
     31 1. Turn all the required resources on and check the status
     32{{{#!shell
     33omf tell -a on -t srv3-lg1,srv4-lg1,rfdev3-1,rfdev3-2,rfdev3-5,rfdev3-6
     34}}}
     35{{{#!shell
     36omf stat -t system:topo:allres
     37}}}
     38 1. ssh to the nodes, use option -Y for using GUI.
