Xilinx calculates the leading position on the edge of the power consumption performance expansion of the world's high AI units

     Silings, a leading company in adaptive computing, recently announced the launch of VersalTM AI Edge, which is designed to support AI innovation from the edge to the end. Versal AI Edge series can provide 4 times AI per power consumption performance compared to GPU and 10 times computing density compared to the previous generation of adaptive SoC, making it the world's most scalable and flexible product portfolio for next-generation distributed intelligent systems.

     Versal AI Edge's adaptive computing acceleration platform (ACAP) can provide intelligent functions for multiple applications, including autonomous driving, collaborative robots, predictive factories, and medical systems with the highest level of functional security. The combination of this product adopts the AI engine-machine learning (AIE-ML) architecture, which can provide a 4x machine learning computing power compared to the previous AI engine. At the same time, the new accelerator RAM and enhanced memory level are also integrated to cope with the evolving AI AI algorithm. These architecture innovations have brought the power consumption performance and lower delay of up to 4 times that of the GPU, which makes the function of edge devices more powerful.

     AI empowerment automation system requires high calculation density, so as to accelerate the overall application from sensors to AI to real -time control. Compared with Zynq Ultrascale+™ MPSOC, Versal AI Edge devices can provide 10 times the calculation density to achieve this goal. In addition, the Versal AI Edge device also supports a variety of security standards, including Industry (IEC 61508), Aviation Electronics (DO-254/178), and Automobile (ISO 26262) to help suppliers reach ASIL C random hardware integrity and ASIL D system Integration level.

     Sumit Shah, a senior director of Sailingz Product Management and Marketing, said: "In order to cope with new needs and scenes, the edge computing application requires a architecture, which can provide a series of flexible computing processing under strict heat dissipation and delay restrictions. Versal The AI EDGE series provides these key features for various applications that require higher intelligent levels. With this, in the Versal product portfolio covering a variety of devices such as from smart edge sensors to CPU accelerators, the Versal AI Edge series can become among them to it. Important members. "

     Dan Mandell, a senior analyst at VDC Research IoT and embedded technology, said: "The marginal market opportunity is showing an index level. From 2021 to 2025, the market size of the AI chipset used for these unique applications is expected to double more than doubled . Sailing SERSAL AI Edge series is a design specially created for the AI task. Focusing on accelerated performance, it also maintains scalability and low power consumption. It is a solution that can cope with these important markets. "

     The Versal AI Edge series adopts a 7nm Versal architecture verified by business through business, and is minimalized for low latency AI computing. Its efficacy level is as low as 6 watts and meets the security and confidentiality requirements in edge applications. As a heterogeneous platform equipped with a variety of processors, the Versal AI Edge series can make the engine match the algorithm, support the embedded computing with the scalar engine, support sensor fusion and flexibly responding to hardware, and support AI in order with smart engines to support AI. , Its can be extended to up to 479 (INT4) TOPS [2]. This is an unmatched ASSP and GPU for marginal -oriented applications. At the same time Processing workload.

     Connecting module cover: LPDDR-4266, 32GB/s transceiver that meets all the necessary protocols in the edge application; 40G multi-rate Ethernet; PCIE GEN4 equipped with CCIX; native support of MIPI with up to 8 million pixels and higher resolution visual sensors MIPI Essence These connection modules are essential for L2 or even more advanced ADAS. With the more powerful AI engine and the enhanced memory level containing accelerator RAM, the Versal AI Edge series is an ideal choice for more widely used markets in many markets.

     Both hardware and software developers can use Versal Ai Edge ACAP. The design entry channels provided by it are suitable for all developers, including Vivado design tools for hardware developers, VITIS ™ unified software platforms for software developers, and data -oriented data. Scientists' VITIS AI, as well as specific field development systems, frameworks and acceleration libraries for specific fields for platform targets.

     The Versal AI Edge series is the latest member of the Versal ACAP product portfolio. Versal ACAP is a comprehensive software that can be programmable adaptive SOC, and its performance and flexibility far exceed the traditional CPU, GPU and FPGA. ACAP can be modified on the hardware and software layer, so as to dynamically adapt to various applications and workload requirements from edge to cloud.
