This tutorial will introduce the Xilinx Vitis development environment for developing FPGA accelerators for HPC applications. Vitis supports OpenCL, C and C++.
The latest available cloud and local hardware will be covered including AWS-F1, Nimbix, and the range of Alveo accelerator boards.
During this course you will get to try out the Vitis software tools and run FPGA examples in a remote EC2 F1 instance in the AWS cloud.
