Alongside CPUs and GPUs, FPGAs are playing an increasingly important role in modern processing platforms. In this session, we will highlight the benefits of FPGA technology and how to make the most of its features.

During the sessions, we will address questions such as: What exactly can you do with an FPGA? For which applications is FPGA technology particularly well-suited? What distinguishes FPGAs from CPUs, GPUs, and AI accelerators?

Heterogeneous chip solutions, which combine both FPGA technology and CPUs, are becoming increasingly common. What benefits do they offer, and how can you use them?

The goal of the afternoon is to shed light on these topics from different perspectives.
