An API (Application Programming Interface) for an adaptive computing system (ACS)
may be used to create a system for performing an application on different types
of ACS platforms. The API may be used to generate a system object including a host
and a number of nodes and channels. A system data structure is created which describes
the nodes, which may be FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array)-based ACS accelerator
boards. The API may enable source-code porting and scaling from small research
platforms to larger field-deployable platforms.
