Intel® Unnati FPGA - Data Centric Labs in Emerging Technologies

Today, there is a wide, and growing, skill gap between technical graduates and IT industry expectations. To propel India’s digital economy transformation, it is imperative that the higher education system in the country bridges this gap by developing new curricula and offering courses in emerging technologies. The National Education Policy 2020 1 recognises this, and stresses the need for greater industry-academic linkages, and for higher education institutions to
focus on research and innovation. With the Intel® Unnati Program, you can keep pace with fast changing industry needs and expectations. It will help you

FPGAs: Innovation for the Data Era:

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) provide benefits to designers of many types of electronic equipment, ranging from smart energy grids, aircraft navigation, automotive driver’s assist-ance, medical ultrasounds, data centre search engines just to name a few.

Benefits of FPGAs:

Flexibility:

FPGA functionality can change upon every power-up of the device. When a design engineer wants to make a change, he or she can simply download a new configuration file into the device and try out the change. increasing reliability by reducing the number of device failures.

Acceleration:

Get products to market quicker and/or increase your system performance. FPGAs provide off-load and acceleration functions to CPUs, effectively speeding up the entire system performance.

Integration:

Today’s FPGAs include on-die processors, transceiver I/Os at 112 Gbps (or faster), RAM blocks, DSP engines, and more. More functions within the FPGA mean fewer devices on the circuit board, increasing reliability by reducing the number of device failures.

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO):

While ASICs may cost less per unit than an equivalent FPGA, building them requires a non-recurring expense (NRE), expensive software tools, specialised design teams, and long manufacturing cycles. Intel FPGAs support long lifecycles (15 years or more), avoiding the cost of redesigning and requalifying OEM production equipment if one of the electronic devices on-board goes end of life (EOL).
