| 67 | + |
| 68 | +This extension is written against the SYCL 2020 specification, Revision 6 and |
| 69 | +the following extensions: |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +- link:../supported/sycl_ext_intel_dataflow_pipes.asciidoc[SYCL_INTEL_data_flow_pipes] |

| 73 | + |
| 74 | +== Overview |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +This extension introduces properties that establish differences in the |
| 77 | +implementation of `sycl::ext::intel::experimental::pipe`. These properties are FPGA specific. An example |
| 78 | +of the syntax can be seen below. |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +[source,c++] |
| 81 | +---- |
| 82 | +using pipe = pipe<class some_pipe, int, min_capacity, decltype(properties{uses_valid<true>})>; |
| 83 | +---- |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +== Feature test macro |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +This extension provides a feature-test macro as described in the core SYCL |
| 88 | +specification section 6.3.3 "Feature test macros". Therefore, an implementation |
| 89 | +supporting this extension must predefine the macro |
| 90 | +`SYCL_EXT_INTEL_FPGA_PIPE_PROPERTIES` to one of the values defined in the table |
| 91 | +below. Applications can test for the existence of this macro to determine if |
| 92 | +the implementation supports this feature, or applications can test the macro's |
| 93 | +value to determine which of the extension's APIs the implementation supports. |

| 170 | +| Property | Description |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | +|`ready_latency` |
| 173 | +| Valid values: Non-negative integer value. |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +Default value: 0 |
| 176 | + |
| 177 | +The number of cycles between when the ready signal is deasserted and when the |
| 178 | +pipe can no longer accept new inputs. |
| 179 | + |
| 180 | +This property is not guaranteed to be respected if the pipe is an inter-kernel |
| 181 | +pipe. The compiler is allowed to optimize the pipe if both sides are visible. |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +|`bits_per_symbol` |
| 184 | +| Valid values: A positive integer value that evenly divides by the data type size. |
| 185 | + |
| 186 | +Default value: 8 |
| 187 | + |
| 188 | +Describes how the data is broken into symbols on the data bus. |
| 189 | + |
| 190 | +Data is broken down according to how you set the `first_symbol_in_high_order_bits` |
| 191 | +property. By default, data is broken down in little endian order. |
| 192 | + |
| 193 | +This property is not guaranteed to be respected if the pipe is an inter-kernel |
| 194 | +pipe. The compiler is allowed to optimize the pipe if both sides are visible. |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | +|`uses_valid` |
| 197 | +| Valid values: `true` or `false` |
| 198 | + |
| 199 | +Default value: `true` |
| 200 | + |
| 201 | +Controls whether a valid signal is present on the pipe interface. If `false`, the |
| 202 | +upstream source must provide valid data on every cycle that ready is asserted. |
| 203 | + |
| 204 | +This is equivalent to changing the pipe read calls to a non-blocking call and assuming that |
| 205 | +success is always true. |
| 206 | + |
| 207 | +If set to `false`, the `min_capacity` pipe class template parameter and `ready_latency` |
| 208 | +property must be 0. |
| 209 | + |
| 210 | +This property is not guaranteed to be respected if the pipe is an inter-kernel |
| 211 | +pipe. The compiler is allowed to optimize the pipe if both sides are visible. |
| 212 | + |
| 213 | +|`first_symbol_in_high_order_bits` |
| 214 | +| Valid values: true or false |
| 215 | + |
| 216 | +Default value: false |
| 217 | + |
| 218 | +Specifies whether the data symbols in the pipe are in big-endian |
| 219 | +order. |
| 220 | + |
| 221 | +This property is not guaranteed to be respected if the pipe is an inter-kernel |
| 222 | +pipe. The compiler is allowed to optimize the pipe if both sides are visible. |
| 223 | + |
| 224 | +|`protocol` |
| 225 | +| Specifies the protocol for the pipe interface. Currently, the protocols supported |
| 226 | +are: *avalon_streaming*, *avalon_streaming_uses_ready*, *avalon_mm*, and *avalon_mm_uses_ready*. |
| 227 | + |
| 228 | +*avalon_streaming* |
| 229 | + |
| 230 | +Provide an Avalon streaming interface as described in https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683091/22-3/introduction-to-the-interface-specifications.html[Intel® Avalon Interface Specifications]. |
| 231 | + |
| 232 | +With this choice of protocol, no ready signal is exposed by the host pipe, and the sink cannot backpressure. |
| 233 | + |
| 234 | +*avalon_streaming_uses_ready* |
| 235 | + |
| 236 | +Provide an Avalon streaming interface as described in https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683091/22-3/introduction-to-the-interface-specifications.html[Intel® Avalon Interface Specifications]. |
| 237 | + |
| 238 | +This protocol allows the sink to backpressure by deasserting the ready signal asserted. The sink signifies that it is ready to consume data by asserting the ready signal. |
| 239 | + |
| 240 | +*avalon_mm* |
| 241 | + |
| 242 | +Provide an Avalon memory mapped interface as described in https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683091/22-3/introduction-to-the-interface-specifications.html[Intel® Avalon Interface Specifications]. |
| 243 | + |
| 244 | +With this protocol, an implicit ready signal is held high, and the sink cannot backpressure. |
| 245 | + |
| 246 | +*avalon_mm_uses_ready* |
| 247 | + |
| 248 | +Provide an Avalon memory mapped interface as described in https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683091/22-3/introduction-to-the-interface-specifications.html[Intel® Avalon Interface Specifications]. |
| 249 | + |
| 250 | +With this protocol, an additional memory mapped location is created to hold the ready signal. You must set the `uses_valid` property to `true`. |
| 251 | + |
| 252 | +The default protocol is *avalon_streaming_uses_ready* |
