This course will introduce students to the Intel FPGAs and how to use the Intel oneAPI toolkit to develop applications to run on FPGAs.

The instructors will give students a high-level overview about FPGAs and their applications, the differences between developing on FPGAs versus CPUs and GPUs, as well as some terminology to supplement their understanding.

Additionally, students will be walked through the development flow typical in FPGA development with oneAPI, including writing, compiling, and running sample DPC++ code on the FPGA emulator and hardware.
