Xilinx Steps Up with Alveo FPGA boards and Versal Adaptive Compute Acceleration Platform

Today FPGA maker Xilinx unveiled Versal, "the industry's first adaptive compute acceleration platform (ACAP)". The company also announced new Alveo FPGA cards, which the company claims can deliver "4X the performance of GPUs, 90X the performance of CPUs, plus unprecedented adaptability across workloads." AMD, one of the Xilinx partners that is showcasing products based on the new Alveo boards, announced a server that will set a new world record for real-time AI inference processing, with a mind-boggling 30,000-images-per-second inference throughput.
