We are in an era of distributed intelligence, where data must be moved, stored, and processed faster and more securely than ever before.

Demand for computing power continues to explode. The InnovateFPGA Design Contest seeks to explore solutions that reduces environmental impact and the demand that we place on the planet’s resources.

Today, we are applying our resources to deliver on bold goals. And we’re not doing it alone: We invite teams to develop solutions that will have a real-world impact based on Intel Edge-centric FPGAs.

Contestants will utilize the Terasic DE10-Nano FPGA Cloud Connectivity Kit, with Analog Devices plug-in cards, and connected to the cloud using selected Microsoft Azure Cloud Services. These kits will be provided to selected participating teams at no cost, along with a small quantity of ADI plug-in cards, and credits/limited time access to Microsoft’s Azure Cloud Services. Teams will need to demo their designs at the regional finals and the Grand Finale.
