Description

Introduction to the FPGA Firmware Developers' Forum for High-Energy Physics Students

The FPGA School is a four-day, fast-paced workshop designed to give graduate-level high-energy-physics (HEP) students a hands-on command of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs)—from fundamental concepts to cutting-edge AI acceleration.

The program blends concise lectures with extended laboratory sessions so participants can immediately apply what they learn.

Whether your goal is trigger-level data processing for experiments like CMS, ALICE, EIC etc., low-latency AI inference, or simply demystifying programmable logic, this school provides the practical foundation and expert guidance to accelerate your research journey.
