Optimizing OpenCL™ Programs for Intel® FPGAs (16 Hours Course) (IOPNCL2102DAY)
Course Description
This course covers optimization techniques to implement high performance OpenCL™ applications on FPGAs. We'll use various debug & analysis tools available in the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ software technology to boost performance of OpenCL kernels. The first half of the course focuses on the optimization of single work-item kernels & the utilization of channel constructs & OpenCL kernel pipes. The second half of the course focuses on the optimization of NDRange kernels & the effective utilization of FPGA memory resources. Throughout the course we will discuss good coding practices for FPGAs & tool features to improve OpenCL kernel performance on FPGAs.
