This issue seems to have fell through the cracks. @Hecmay in our installation guide, can we provide a list of operating systems that we can currently support?

@seanlatias thoughts?

@Hecmay how do we simulate this code? We won't be able to put data under /mnt/user on the CPU server that runs the HCL simulation. Does Insider have a CPU...

>> s.to(training_data, p.drive, vfile="/mnt/user/training.dat").to(p.FPGA) We need to think critically about what is the right programming interface here. What is the first .to() doing? Isn't the file already stored on disk?...

How do we plan to provide abstraction for these different I/O optimizations?

You described a set of low-level optimizations offered by the vendor. How do you plan to make them available to the programmers? The important decisions are in the comment /*...

I suggest we leave this issue open so we know we are missing support for non-unit stride stencil. We should also document all the existing limitations for each customization primitives.

Also, do we report error message for reuse_at() where there is no reuse opportunities?

Good to know. But is the compiler spitting proper error when reuse_at does not apply? Also, is there a fundamental challenge that prevents us from supporting non-unit stride?

@chhzh123 Yes, this is a very good point. For VHLS, I suggest we only generate the HLS code for design under test (DUT) if the mode is set to csim,...
