Optimizing OpenCL™ for Intel® FPGAs (16 Hours Course) (IOPNCL2102DAY)

Course Description

This course covers optimization techniques to implement a high performance OpenCL™ solution on FPGAs. We'll use various debug & analysis tools available in the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL to boost performance of OpenCL kernels. The first half of the course focuses on the optimization of single work-item kernels & the utilization of Intel FPGA channels & OpenCL pipes. The second half of the course focuses on the optimization of ND range kernels & the effective utilization of various memory systems implemented by the Intel FPGA kernel compiler. Throughout the course we will discuss good OpenCL coding design practices for FPGAs & use Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL features to improve OpenCL performance on FPGAs. *OpenCL and the OpenCL logo are trademarks of Apple Inc. used by permission of Khronos
