I have been using "ap_uint<512>" to use the burst access to HBM's in Xilinx U280. Are there a possibility to use sth like that that we can actually use arbitrary length data types?
I'm not sure if I understand this question. You can #include <ap_int.h>
in TAPA. See https://github.com/UCLA-VAST/tapa/blob/release/apps/bandwidth/lfsr.h for an example.
And Also I would like to know if it is enough to install only Tapa or should I install AutoBridge as well for Floorplanning?
AutoBridge is now a dependency of TAPA and will be automatically installed when TAPA is installed.
More specifically I have a benchmark which uses dataflow computation approach. I created sub matrices and assigned them different HBMs with HLS INTERFACE in top function. Then I created different hls::stream for each sub matrix and vector. then I load the matrices to those streams and calculate the multiplication then write it to another hls::stream. But those streams have "ap_uint<512>" elements so I can use the burst access. Before the calculation I decompose it to get double elements. I wonder if it is possible to the this with tapa APIs. Or Can I create TAPA streams with ap_uint<512> elements? I wonder also if the floorplannig process is done automatically according to case or Should we create kind of Tcl files?
I wonder if it is possible to the this with tapa APIs.
Yes, see https://tapa.readthedocs.io/en/release/tutorial/migrate_from_vitis_hls.html for migration from Vitis HLS.
Or Can I create TAPA streams with ap_uint<512> elements?
Yes, of course you can.
I wonder also if the floorplannig process is done automatically according to case or Should we create kind of Tcl files?

Hi,
I am kind of new to this area. I have been using "ap_uint<512>" to use the burst access to HBM's in Xilinx U280. Are there a possibility to use sth like that that we can actually use arbitrary length data types?
