With the demand for large-scale data processing such as IoT, big data, and machine learning, we learn about the fundamental technologies of reconfigurable systems, especially FPGAs attracting attention for their power efficiency and high performance. The aim of this lecture is to make it possible to design an optimum circuit on an FPGA for the required performance and to be able to study application examples.
Understanding Parallel Computation and High-Performance Technique by FPGA
Understanding Design method to applications by FPGA
Parallel computation, high-performance computation, logic design, FPGA
✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
1) In the first part of each lecture, review the previous lecture.
2) In the next part, do exercises on the content of the class on that day.
3) Thoroughly read the content of each lesson and do the tasks in preparation/review.
Course schedule | Required learning | |
---|---|---|
Class 1 | FPGA Tutorial | Homework for FPGA design (1) |
Class 2 | Hardware Preliminary | Homework for FPGA design (2) |
Class 3 | FPGA architecture and synthesis flow | Homework for FPGA design (3) |
Class 4 | RTL design | Homework for FPGA design (4) |
Class 5 | HLS design | Homework for FPGA design (5) |

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
Distribute lecture materials during the lecture
Amano et al., "Principles and Structures of FPGAs," Springer, 2018.
1) Based on comprehension degree on parallel computation and high performance technique by FPGA
2) If instructed, submit a report
3) All attendance is in principle
4) If you repeat late arrivals or resubmissions, you may be rejected
Although there is no requirement to take courses, it is desirable to have basic knowledge of computer hardware and software.
