OpenFPGA Working Groups
Activities of OpenFPGA working groups are supported by OpenFPGA through the combined individual annual membership fees. Each individual membership not only qualifies that individual to participate in all OpenFPGA working groups, but also enables them to fully participate in decisions that come before OpenFPGA.

U-APPREQ: User working group on application requirements for FPGAs.
Mission : Gather input on needs and requirements for common FPGA programming interfaces and applications.
Send email to openfpga-appreq-owner@osc.edu to sign-up.
T-HLLANG: Technical working group on high-level language specifications.
Mission : Define elements needed to transform algorithm specifications to implementation for FPGA systems. These elements would be extensions to common high-level languages, which would allow for simple specification of the interface to the cpu, memory allocation in the FPGA or efficient realization of the algorithm.
Send email to openfpga-hllang-owner@osc.edu to sign-up.
T-APPLIB: Technical working group on application specific FPGA libraries.
Mission: Define elements of or needed for using portable software callable application specific APIs to incorporate FPGA functionality in traditional software applications. Examples of APIs may include BLAS, LaPack, ScaLapack, SciLib, PCBL, etc.
Send email to openfpga-applib-owner@osc.edu to sign-up.
T-GENAPI: Technical working group on general FPGA functionality APIs.
Mission : Define elements of or needed for an application independent common interface for basic FPGA functionalities (application independent, similar to OpenMP and MPI which are not application specific).
Send email to openfpga-genapi-owner@osc.edu to sign-up.
T-CORELIB: Technical working group on core libraries and interoperability.
Mission : Define elements of or needed for increasing reusability and interoperability of FPGA functional core definitions incorporated into applications.
Send email to openfpga-corelib-owner@osc.edu to sign-up.
T-BENCH: Technical working group on FPGA benchmarks.
Mission: The purpose of this working group is to develop an OpenFPGA Benchmark Suite. This suite would provide a standard set of interesting problems to compare not only performance, but also implementation ease, time to solution, compile time (place and route, etc).
