Video: FPGAs and Machine Learning
January 16, 2020 by
James Moawad and Greg Nash from Intel gave this talk at ATPESC 2019. “FPGAs are a natural choice for implementing neural networks as they can handle different algorithms in computing, logic, and memory resources in the same device. Faster performance comparing to competitive implementations as the user can hardcore operations into the hardware. Software developers can use the OpenCL device C level programming standard to target FPGAs as accelerators to standard CPUs without having to deal with hardware level design.”

Vitis Unified Software Platform to make FPGA Programming Accessible for All Developers
October 1, 2019 by
Since their beginnings, FPGA’s have been notorious for being hard to program. That could be changing with the new Vitis Unified Software Platform from Xilinx.n“Xilinx has created a singular environment that enables programmers and engineers from all disciplines to co-develop and optimize both their hardware and software, using the tools and frameworks they already know and understand. This means that they can adapt their hardware architecture to their application without the need for new silicon.”
