Alveo U250 Data Center Accelerator Card

    Overview

    Product Description

    Xilinx® Alveo™ U250 Data Center accelerator cards are designed to meet the constantly changing needs of the modern Data Center, providing up to 90X higher performance than CPUs for key workloads, including machine learning inference, video transcoding, and database search & analytics. Built on the Xilinx 16nm UltraScale™ architecture, Alveo accelerator cards are adaptable to changing acceleration requirements and algorithm standards, capable of accelerating any workload without changing hardware, and reducing overall cost of ownership.

    Enabling Alveo accelerator cards is an ecosystem of Xilinx and partner applications for common Data Center workloads. For custom solutions, Xilinx’s Application Developer Tool Suite (Vitis™ environment) andMachine Learning Suiteprovide the tools for developers to bring differentiatedapplicationsto market.

    Alveo optional accessories extend the capabilities and access to Alveo data center acceleration cards. Accessories include power adapter cables and USB cables.

    The preferred optimal design flow for targeting the Alveo Data Center accelerator card uses the Vitis™ software platform. Steps to deploy and develop using Vitis are given below. Long-time FPGA designers might want to use traditional design flows, such as RTL or HLx. This flow does not require installing the Vitis platform.
