FPGAs and Programmable Logic Devices track

Wednesday, November 2, 2016 from 2:00 – 5:00pm
Sweeney AB
 

The Linux Plumbers 2016 FPGAs and Programmable Logic Devices track intends to facilitate discussions surrounding the use of coherently attached accelerators, FPGAs, and other programmable devices (oh my!) as first class citizens on Linux.

This session will be loosely structured in the following order.

1. Intro
2. Use cases for FPGAs
3. FPGA mgr
4. Enumeration
5. Config and assignment
6. Orchestration
7. Next steps

Key is going to be on discussion rather than presentations, so ordering may change during the session.

Please see: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/LPC2016_FPGA
and help us take notes in the session.
