Architecture All Access: Modern FPGA Architecture | Intel Technology

Field Programmable Gate Arrays, or FPGAs, are key tools in modern computing that can be reprogramed to a desired functionality or application after manufacturing. Intel Fellow Prakash Iyer takes us through the building blocks of FPGAs, why FPGA developers are closer to CPU designers than software developers, and more.

Prakash Iyer is an Intel Fellow and has worked in computing for nearly 30 years as a technology designer and implementer. Intel Fellows are selected for their outstanding technical contributions to Intel and the broader industry.

Architecture All Access is a master class technology series featuring Senior Intel Technical Leaders taking an educational approach to the historical impact and future innovations of key architectures that will continue to be at the center of ‘world-changing technology that enriches the lives of every person on earth.’ If you are interested in CPUs, FPGAs, Quantum Computing and beyond, subscribe and hit the bell to get new episode notifications.

Haven't found a better and intriguing description of FPGA fundamentals, great talk!

[siddharthagupta]

Finally I got something so simple that I can recommend people to know what I do otherwise people know us as IT people. Thanks #intel.

[paramveerteli]

This is the best FPGA introduction I have seen ever.... Thanks....

[isaacllanas]

I'm a electronic engineering student from Mexico City discovering this new world and I'm really excited to be part of this revolution

[MyChillOutMusic]

I love this series! And the opening/closing music is awesome :)

[VictoriaAPerez-fhew]

I could not have asked for a better explanation. Tied together all my previous learning and primed me for what's to come this semester. Thank you for making this!

[khaledb]

That city explanation was so good! I am a student currently studying these

[rakeshshrestha]

There is saying "The one who has indepth view can explain in simpler way" Excellent presentation.

[justusgronts]

Clearly and concisely covered an entire semester of basic logic course by 8:24, and an entire semester of Advanced logic by 18:24. Pure core, but an excellent reference for anyone keen to fill in all the sidebars of the subject without confusion.
Well done mate
👍👍👍👍

I started my career as a VLSI Design engineer but like many left for a different electronics sector. I have kept upto date so see silicon receiving the attention now it deserves. This is a good start to re-educate people or encourage new people to understand chip fundamentals. I'm especially pleased it isn't a STEM initiative but an introduction to the field by the leading tech professionals. I'd love to see a really futuristic one showing how ML devices with a trillion parameters will process data and how the algorithms they create will work in the real world /real time in different parts of our lives. Silicon is not graphics for games consoles nor the latest mobile phone or a basic control unit. However, it is about to become more pervasive than we imagined even five years ago.
I'd love to see Intel explain that journey and the way everyone will be part of it and why we should care how things work so we can build solutions to the problems that we face now.

[NavneetSharmaa]

I like this web series...Thanks INTEL !

[reetuhota]

What a beautiful presentation covering the knitty gritty of vlsi to the enormous applications in real life....one of the best videos i have gone through so far in this emerging technology..this video should hit millions!!

[sujitsadalagi]

I am gonna put this in my playlist. Because as a FPGA engineer many ask me what is this FPGA?
if somebody ask me i will show this Video. rather than explaining everything.
beautiful presentation..

[pramodkvr]

This is a great introduction to FPGAs.

[alevtoprak]

Great! The best video to show FPGA architecture to understand what is FPGA consist of for curious poeple like me, thak you!

[srirambs]

Although being familiar with the basics of the FPGA architecture since the last 12 years, I like this introduction very much. Well rounded efforts on the content, animations, images.

[mbkushare]

Excellent ! everything in the video is absolutely perfect. Thank you Intel and thank you Prakash!

[falsepaths]

Awesome video, thanks Intel Technology!

[ricardomotamarzano]

Excellent explanation. The best summary of two courses I teach... Congratulations!!

[Vermilicious]

I think FPGAs is one of the most important innovations in electronics of our time. In many instances, designing chips is a thing of the past except for the most demanding uses. I'd really like to try it out.
