Preface
The field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is one of the most important electronic devices to emerge in the past two decades. Now we can use more than 50,000-gate fully programmable digital devices for only 300 USD by using the free WebPACK including sophisticated high-level synthesis (HLS) design tools. FPGA has been used in most recent IT products including network controllers, consumer electronics, digital TVs, set-top boxes, vehicles, and robots. It is a leading technology device for advanced semiconductors; that is, the most advanced semiconductor chips are fabricated not for CPUs but for FPGAs. Recently, Intel acquired Altera, a leading FPGA vendor, and has employed accelerators for various types of applications in cloud computing. Especially, big data processing and deep learning used in artificial intelligence are killer applications of FPGAs, and “FPGAs in the cloud” has currently become an extremely popular topic in this field. This book introduces various aspects of FPGA: Its history, programmable device technologies, architectures, design tools, and examples of application. Although a part of the book is for high school or university students, the advanced part includes recent research results and applications so that engineers who use
