The FPGA technology is becoming more available in recent years, yet the learning curve stays very steep. In this talk, Marek will explain what the FPGAs are and how they can be used to help with heavy computational tasks.

The beginning of the talk provides a brief introduction of the FPGA technology and the necessary tools. In the rest of the presentation, Marek will talk about methods and their pros and cons of offloading heavy tasks into the FPGA. Finally, Marek will also cover emerging technologies which might make programming the FPGA easiler and less prone to errors, like OpenCL, C2H, Chisel.
