Vitis Unified Software Platform enables you to leverage the adaptive computing power of Xilinx Alveo Accelerator cards to accelerate diverse workloads like Vision & Image Processing, Data Analytics, Machine Learning, Quantitative Finance, Data Compression and others – without any prior FPGA design experience. Using Vitis, you can develop FPGA-accelerated algorithms in familiar programming languages like C, C++ and OpenCL. You can also integrate C-based accelerated kernels with RTL IPs within an end-to-end application, enabling reuse of existing or legacy IPs for workload acceleration. The Vitis Software Platform 2021.1 VM offers a complete set of graphical and command-line developer tools including compilers, analyzers and debuggers to build, analyze performance bottlenecks and debug accelerated algorithms for deployment on the Alveo U250 accelerator card. Vitis also offers a rich set of FPGA-accelerated performance-optimized libraries that can be used in your applications as-is, modified to suit your specific needs or referenced as examples of optimizing kernels using compiler directives – You can optionally add these libraries from GitHub to your developer VM.
