Sumario:<!--HTML--><p>In this presentation, we will discuss the latest tools and products from Intel that enables FPGAs to be deployed as Accelerators. We will first talk about the Acceleration Stack for Intel Xeon CPU with FPGAs which makes it easy to create, verify, and execute functions on the Intel Programmable Acceleration Card in a Data Center. We will then talk about the OpenCL flow which allows parallel software developers to create FPGA systems and deploy them using the OpenCL standard. Next, we will talk about the Intel High-Level Synthesis compiler which can convert C++ code into custom RTL code optimized for Intel FPGAs. Lastly, we will focus on the task of running Machine Learning inference on the FPGA leveraging some of the tools we discussed.</p> <p><strong>About the speaker</strong></p> <p>Karl Qi is Sr. Staff Applications Engineer, Technical Training.
