that performs Avalon-MM pipelined read transfers. Inside the
accelerator, the master port connects to a FIFO, which guarantees the
accelerator can receive data for all pending read transfers, regardless of
whether the state machine stalls.

shows the dependency graph for

Example 3–37

, which

demonstrates a loop that pipelines memory accesses with latency. This
example uses the connection pragma to connect the master port for
variable

list

to a slave memory named

my_mem_with_two_cycles_read_latency

, as described in section

“Master-Slave Connections” on page 3–23

.

Example 3–37. Accessing Memory with Latency

#pragma altera_accelerate connect_variable \
sum_elements/list to \
my_mem_with_two_cycles_read_latency

int sum_elements (int *list, int len)
{
int i;
int sum = 0;
for (i=0; i<len; i++)
sum += *list++;
}
