We have just finished second week of the FPGA Summer Camp 2018.

Today attendees presented their recent work and research in given topics. All projects are currently being developed in High Level Synthesis and present modern trends in applications where FPGAs are considered. Below you can find a list of projects:

Development of encoding engine for tANS data compression algorithm
Research on High Performance Computing – evaluation of LINPACK benchmarks on FPGAs
Video processing – drawing 3D objects, dynamically controlled by an IMU sensor on HDMI stream
Machine learning – neural network trained on MNIST data set inference
Analysis of hashing algorithms for cryptocurrency mining

Stay tuned for more details and results!

Digilent Design Contest 2018 – Finals

15 May 2018 kfarbaniec Leave a comment

We had a great pleasure to participate in Digilent Design Contest 2018 finals. Competition was strong this year. Team from Serbia won first prize with their Deep Neural Network Hardware Accelerator.

On the podium was also one team from Romania and two from Poland.

“Structure From Motion” scene recognition system for navigation an unmanned aerial vehicles – AGH University of Science and Technology, 2nd place
Hardware accelerated security system – Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, 2nd place
FPGA-based Programmable Logic Controller – Silesian University of Technology, 3rd place

Additive Synthesizer – Gdansk University of Technology
was granted with Digilent special prize for best usage of Digilent Instruments.

The event lasts for two days. On Saturday all finalists were presenting their work. On Sunday only few teams were invited for showing in details their solutions.

Most of submissions for the contest were diploma thesis or long-term projects conducted by experienced engineers.

Our approach for competition was to learn a lot and explore different approaches to Augmented Reality on SoC devices. In my opinion it is not necessarily important to win, but to compete, cooperate and learn state-of-the-art techniques and methods. We draw conclusions and got valuable feedback from community.
