Course overview
Much like Nvidia’s CUDA programming, OpenCL is a standard for writing parallel programs, especially for heterogeneous systems. OpenCL instructions are also synthesised into the FPGL environment. The Introduction to OpenCL on FPGAs course will discuss the basics of OpenCL standards. You will also learn about the platform, programming models, execution, and memory that define the OpenCL specification.
Moreover, the Introduction to OpenCL on FPGAs training programme will also cover the syntax of the OpenCL language. The differences and similarities between CUDA and OpenCL will be highlighted as well. Lastly, the course will navigate through the applications of OpenCL language and its advantages.
Dennis Ejorh and Nikhil Venkatesh will be your course instructors. The Introduction to OpenCL on FPGAs online course content will be delivered through readings, video lectures, and hands-on practice exercises. Lastly, if you pay for the certificate option, you will also receive a completion certificate, which you can use to highlight your skills and improve your career prospects.
