The AMD Xilinx University Program provides support for academics using AMD tools and technologies for teaching and research. Find out more about available course material and other educational resources, live and virtual training, and our donation program where university staff can apply for software and AMD Xilinx development boards designed for academia.
See below for details on theHeterogeneous Accelerated Compute Clusters (HACCs)which provides researchers with remote access to high end compute acceleration hardware.
Find out more about low-cost XUP academic boards that are designed for classroom teaching and research projects.
University staff are invited to apply for a donation of Xilinx software and IP licenses, and AMD Xilinx hardware including FPGA, Zynq, Zynq Ultrascale+, RFSoC, Alveo and Versal accelerator boards.
The university program host free to attend training courses and tutorials on the latest AMD Xilinx tools and technologies, with the source material also available for educators to re-use in their teaching.
Find out about AMD, XUP and partner events including conferences, seminars, workshops and student competitions.
Introducing the Heterogeneous Accelerated Compute Clusters
HACCs (formerly known as XACC, Xilinx Adaptive Compute Clusters) is a special initiative to support novel research in adaptive compute acceleration for high performance computing (HPC).
HACCs have been established at some of world’s most prestigious universities. HACCs are equipped with the latest AMD Xilinx hardware and software technologies for adaptive compute acceleration research.
Researchers are invited to join the programto get remote access to AMD Xilinx heterogeneous compute acceleration hardware.
Python Productivity for Adaptive Compute platforms
PYNQ is an open-source project from that makes it easier to use Adaptive Computing platforms.
Using the Python language and libraries, designers can exploit the benefits of programmable logic and microprocessors to build more capable and exciting electronic systems.
PYNQ can be used with Zynq, Zynq UltraScale+, Zynq RFSoC, Alveo accelerator boards and AWS-F1.
