Course Description

This hands on workshop will cover the background of how software programmers can use OpenCL to target FPGAs without any former knowledge or experience with FPGAs to build embedded vision applications. We will cover writing OpenCL code and compiling it for an FPGA accelerator, the resulting acceleration system generated, and the mechanisms to run OpenCL kernels on the FPGA while communicating with the host program running on a CPU. Lastly we’ll discuss various Altera SDK for OpenCL productivity and performance optimization features that keep the development time short and productivity high.
