Accelerate AI applications using VITIS AI on Xilinx ZynqMP UltraScale+ FPGA - Softnautics

VITIS is a unified software platform for developing SW (BSP, OS, Drivers, Frameworks, and Applications) and HW (RTL, HLS, Ips, etc.) using Vivado and other components for Xilinx FPGA SoC platforms like ZynqMP UltraScale and Alveo cards. The key component of VITIS SDK, the VITIS AI runtime (VART), provides a unified interface for the deployment of end ML/AI applications on Edge and Cloud. Inference in machine learning is computation-intensive and requires high memory bandwidth and high performance compute to meet the low-latency and high-throughput requirements of various end applications. AI Quantizer is a compression tool for the quantization process by converting 32-bit floating-point weights and activations to fixed point INT8. It can reduce the computing complexity without losing accurate information for the model.
