課程概述

本課程的目標是使軟件/硬件設計人員能夠開發高效的硬件加速器，並進一步開發一種以有效方式集成應用程序和硬件加速器的系統。
本課程分為兩個部分。第一部分是提供開發C / C ++代碼的技能，該代碼可以有效地轉換為硬件。它從邏輯設計，FPGA架構，使用Pynq-Z2板，EDA工具，了解高級綜合的內部工作流程，C / CC +到RTL映射，設計分析和優化的背景開始。逐步說明示例。有大量的實驗工作和作業，以給學生實踐經驗。學期結束前，將舉行一系列有關最終項目的研討會介紹。
第二部分是探索硬件軟件的協同設計。通過探討各種體系結構問題，從高級主題高級綜合開始。通過探索性能瓶頸，工作分區，設計有效的通信協議和運算核心開發來實踐軟件-硬件協作的過程。憑藉所學的技能，團隊中的學生將研究一個學期項目來解決實際應用，示例應用包括數據庫，生物信息學，財務，機器學習等。學期項目將產生各種硬件-軟件協同設計問題被討論。該過程就像從計劃到成功交付解決方案來開發真正的嵌入式產品。
