Xilinx VP: "We are open sourcing everything!" https://youtu.be/C-_PFbZw_Oo?t=322 … ;-)

Yes kernels are ips. The term comes from CUDA world. Almost all customer will custom ip cores + standard xilinx ips. What he meant was majority customers prefer HLS flow as primary development flow now.
I know the term kernel from CUDA / OpenCL / High-Perf Computing, and I can see how some IP cores implement kernels, but are you saying for example MicroBlaze is now considered a "kernel" in Xilinx lingo? To me that seems a pretty weird use of that word..

No IPs remain to be called as IPs. But there are RTL kernel which instantiate RTL design. But we have to see in perpective that the developers now might not essentially be a hw engg. Just terms, talking what your users understand.

So what is considered a "kernel" then if that's not all IPs? And how does that relate to the original statement of "2/3 or 3/4 of customers are using HLS"? Afaict less than 10% of designers are using HLS for anything at all. https://twitter.com/oe1cxw/status/1225684601865007104 … (100*6.4/(67.5+6.4)=8.66)
