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 from its 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 deisgn, FPGA
