Notes:

- To measure the elapsed time runs on an actual FPGA board , call
  cw.getKernelElapsedNanoSec() after cw.runKernel().

- To read the power consumption on Nallatech 385A board, uncomment the following line in
  clwrap.hpp, call cw.readboardpower() from host and recompile it

  //#define ENABLE_AOCL_MMD_HACK

   Note: you need to write your version of cw.runKernel() if you want
   to sample power while your kernel is running.




Tested FPGA platform:

- Nallatech 386A
  Intel FPGA OpenCL 16.0.2.222 / Nallatech 385A BSP
  Intel FPGA OpenCL 17.1.0.240 / Nallatech 385A BSP

- Terasic DE10 Nano
  Quartus 18.1. Used the arm cross compiler in DS-5 (Intel FPGA SOC EDS)
