# FPGAs for Fun, Acceleration, and Profit! w/ Chris Tyler

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have moved from being expensive, exotic
prototyping tools to affordable mainstream devices for hardware customization
and acceleration. This talk takes a general look at FPGAs, how to use them, the
current technology landscape, the increasing use of FPGAs as cloud, leaf, and
server accelerators, and related technology initiatives around standardization
and cache coherence.

# Code of Conduct

We want a productive happy community that can welcome new ideas, improve every
process every year, and foster collaboration between individuals with differing
needs, interests and skills.

We gain strength from diversity, and actively seek participation from those who
enhance it. This code of conduct exists to ensure that diverse groups
collaborate to mutual advantage and enjoyment. We will challenge prejudice that
could jeopardise the participation of any person in the community.

The Code of Conduct governs how we behave in public or in private whenever the
Linux community will be judged by our actions. We expect it to be honoured by
everyone who represents the community officially or informally, claims
affiliation or participates directly. It applies to activities online or
offline.

We invite anybody to participate. Our community is open.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about the GTALUG Code of
Conduct please contact the GTALUG Board @ <board at gtalug.org>.
