Can I directly use mempool code on FPGA? Or where can I get a reference to use mempool, attached with mempool github link

Thank you in advance

Technically speaking there is nothing against getting mempool to run on FPGA, however the idea between mempool is to investigate architectures with large core counts and this is thought for large ASICs, accelerators. This is why we do not have directly FPGA implementations of mempool. A larger instance would anyway not fit into a regular FPGA.
There are RTL simulators (as described on the github page) setup for it.
If you are looking for a cluster-based many-core accelerator system, i can suggest to look at HERO (
https://github.com/pulp-platform/hero) which has several FPGA ports and is designed to run on FPGAs primarily.
Hope that helps
