We are glad to announce the first public release of the Open Programmable A=
cceleration Engine (OPAE) today.

The Open Programmable Acceleration Engine is a software framework for manag=
ing and accessing programmable accelerators (FPGAs). It currently consists =
of two main parts, the OPAE SDK, and the OPAE Linux driver for Intel(R) Xeo=
n(R) CPU with FPGAs, and is under active development to extend to more plat=
forms.

The OPAE SDK is a collection of libraries and tools to facilitate the devel=
opment of software applications and accelerators using OPAE. It provides a =
library implementing the OPAE C API for presenting a streamlined and easy-t=
o-use interface for software applications to discover, access, and manage F=
PGA devices and accelerators using the OPAE software stack. The OPAE SDK al=
so includes the AFU Simulation Environment (ASE) for end-to-end simulation =
of accelerator RTL together with software applications using the OPAE C API.

OPAE is intended to be a community effort to simplify the development and d=
eployment of FPGA applications, so we explicitly welcome discussions and co=
ntributions! The OPAE SDK source, unless otherwise noted, is released under=
 a BSD 3-clause license.
