FLOW - Wavefront Alignment algorithm FPGA implementation

Team number: xohw21-211
Project name: FLOW - WFA on FPGA

Structure of the repository

src: contains source files
dataset: contains an example of input file supported by our implementation
original_sw: contains files of the original software version of the WFA algorithm
bitstream: contains .xclbin files

Building the original software

Since we integrated the original software inside the host, it is fundamental to build the application:

$> cd original_sw
$> make
$> cd ..

Running our implementation on FPGA

Firstly, run the following command to build the host:

$> make host

Then, run the following commands to run everything on FPGA:

1. if you want to align randomly generated inputs, run:

$> ./host bitstream/wfa.xclbin

2. if you want to align inputs given from a file, run:

$> ./host bitstream/wfa.xclbin datasets/sample.dataset.seq
