Thank you for the reply @remotego, I agree with your views. As you mentioned, using OpenCL is a good way to bootstrap an accelerator design quickly. I myself did that with VTA when I wrote it in HLS as a grad student, so I see its value!
There are definitely strong pros/cons of HDLs vs. HLS languages. Ultimately if we want to give people choice, we should have a good CI testing story as Liangfu pointed out. But I do encourage you to give Chisel a try. It gives you the best of both worlds in terms of building higher abstractions (e.g. Bundle), while providing a good and easy to interpret mapping to RTL. That said we welcome this addition in OpenCL. For now we'll need to address the lack of consistent CI testing framework for the multitude of designs we have for VTA. @liangfu did you want to suggest some approaches there in an RFC? I'd be happy to work with you on that RFC. --- [Visit Topic](https://discuss.tvm.ai/t/rfc-vta-support-for-cloud-devices-opencl-compatible/6676/23) to respond.
