FPGA-Based Hardware Accelerators and Hybrid Systems (EIT-EMS-732-V-7)
Contents
This course teaches design, integration, and validation concepts for hardware-accelerated hybrid systems (in particular with FPGAs). It focuses on the higher abstraction levels starting from the application itself, moving to over algorithm and execution platform selections to the final implementation.
Covered topics in this course:
- Application-level design space exploration and selection of appropriate implementation styles
- High-level synthesis (HLS)
- Commercial hybrid devices (Xilinx and Intel FPGAs and SoCs)
- Virtual platforms (VPs) and SystemC / TLM basics
- Validation with unit tests and integration tests
- Development styles: Classic, Test-Driven Design (TDD), and agile hardware design
- Methods and tools for project tracking and collaboration

Embedded Processor Lab (EIT-EMS-546-L-4)
Contents
In this lab, the participants study the RISCV instruction set using a RV32I processor. Besides that, they learn how to work with its toolchain. The concepts of modern processor architectures in a given hardware are analyzed to accelerate a post-quantum safe encryption algorithm. Therefore, instruction set extensions and custom instructions as well as software optimizations have to be implemented by the participants. Furthermore, the use of common development tools for software design and synthesis is conveyed.
