Lunch lecture: from Haskell to Hardware

Now that the GPUs have become standard, FPGAs are the next step in accelerating computations for less Watts. FPGA's are however even harder to program for: it feels more like designing hardware than writing software.

The guest speaker from QBayLogic will present a solution that they have developed for this issue. The core of it is to generate a description of the hardware within a functional programming language. This description can then be reasonably close to the mathematical formulation of the problem.

The talk is at 13:00. We'd love it if you want to join us for lunch at 12:30.
