High-Order WaveFront Sensing and Control (HOWFSC) on Xilinx ZCU104

Welcome to the High-Order WaveFront Sensing and Control (HOWFSC) project repository!
This project demonstrates the implementation and performance evaluation of advanced wavefront sensing and control algorithms on the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC ZCU104 board using High-Level Synthesis (HLS).

🛰️ Overview

This project focuses on accelerating computational bottlenecks in Electric Field Conjugation (EFC) and Jacobian Estimation algorithms, which are critical in high-order wavefront sensing and control systems. By leveraging HLS, we implement and optimize key computational kernels to run efficiently on the ZCU104 platform.
