Xilinx – Vivado HLS ONLINE
Also known as C-based Design: High-Level Synthesis with Vivado HLS by Xilinx. CEST time: 10:00 – 14:00
view dates and locations PLEASE NOTE: This is a LIVE INSTRUCTOR-LED training event delivered ONLINE.
It covers the same scope and content, and delivers similar learning outcomes, as a scheduled face-to face class.
Course Description
The course provides a thorough introduction to Vivado™ HLS (high-level synthesis). It covers:
- synthesis strategies
- features
- improving throughput
- area
- interface creation
- latency
- testbench coding
- coding tips.
You will learn how to utilize Vivado HLS to optimize code for high-speed performance in an embedded environment and download for in-circuit validation.
This training also provides an essential background for developing Software Defined SoCs (find out more about Doulos SDSoC Adopter Training).
