This course covers advanced topics in high-level synthesis (HLS) design flow. The goals of the course are describing, debugging and implementing logic circuits on FPGAs using only C/C++ language without any help from HDLs (e.g., VHDL or Verilog). The HLS is recently used by several industry leaders (such as Nvidia and Google) to design their hardware and software platforms. The HLS design flow is the future of hardware design. It quickly becomes a must-have skill for every hardware or software engineer keen on utilising FPGAs for their exceptional performance and low power consumption.

This course is the first to explain the advanced HLS design flow topics. It uses the Xilinx HLS software and hardware platforms to demonstrate real examples and applications. Throughout the course, you will follow several examples describing HLS concepts and techniques. The course contains numerous quizzes and exercises to practice and master the proposed methods and approaches.

This course is the third of a series of courses on HLS in designing hardware modules and accelerating algorithms on a target FPGA. Whereas this course focuses on multi-cycle design, advanced design, and optimisation techniques in HLS, the other courses in the series explain how to use single-cycle design techniques to develop combinational and sequential logic circuits in HLS.

Who this course is for:
Hardware engineers
Software engineers who are interested in FPGAs
Lecturers, researchers, and professors who want to use FPGA-based HLS in lectures, courses or research
Digital Logic enthusiasts
