Costs: Free

You are invited!

This is the first of a series of workshops which brings together FPGA practitioners, Computer Science and Engineering experts, Scientific Computing experts and application owners, and HPC providers, in an effort to build a community to evaluate the need and usability of FPGAs in HPC and Scientific Computing.

We planned an exciting program!

June 21st – Morning program

• Three plenary talks by researchers in the HWAccel community
• Two invited talks from an FPGAs integrator (University of Paderborn)
• FPGA vendor (Xilinx)

Lunch

June 21st – Afternoon program

• Set of selected pitches from the community, those using (or wanting to use) FPGAs for their own computational science applications and tools. These pitches are selected to stir discussion and assess the potential impact of FPGAs for different domains, specialists, experts, and, ultimately, SURF.

June 22nd – This day is reserved for an FPGA programming tutorial by Xilinx.

Register

We have a limited number of seats, so please register early!
