Abstract:
FPGAs are powerful hardware accelerators that can be configured into custom solutions, such as speeding up key workloads and adapting to emerging standards or changing requirements. The Intel oneAPI Toolkits allow developers to develop, optimize, and deploy algorithms that use Intel FPGAs as look-aside accelerators in a compute system.

In this tutorial, you will learn to write and compile Data Parallel C++ (DPC++) code to target an Intel FPGA. You will learn and practice the development flow to (1) emulate your code to ensure functionality, (2) optimize your code using reports, and (3) generate and profile the hardware bitstream created from your code.

You will also be introduced to the concepts and strategies needed to ensure your code is optimized for performance. A hands-on lab will take you through multiple stages of optimization of example DPC++ code.

The hands-on lab portion of this tutorial will make use of the Intel DevCloud. You will receive instructions and practice on the use of the Intel DevCloud during the tutorial.

Speaker: Susannah Martin
(bio) Susannah Martin is a senior applications engineer in the customer training group for Intel FPGAs. In the training group, she loves teaching others and increasing their knowledge of FPGAs. She is responsible for developing and maintaining the Intel training material on FPGA high-level tools, as well as SoC related training content. Prior to becoming a trainer, she worked as an FPGA design engineer, embedded programmer, and field applications engineer.

Topics to be covered:
• Write DPC++ code to target an FPGA
• Understand the flow to target DPC++ code to an FPGA
• Understand how your code is compiled into an FPGA design incorporating a Custom Compute Pipeline
• Understand and be able to write your kernel scope code as a task
• Examine an FPGA optimization report and analyze many performance bottlenecks
• List several techniques to optimize your command group scope code

Length of the tutorial: 4.5 hours

Format of the tutorial: Webex for presentation portion, Intel DevCloud accessed through browser for labs
