Xilinx Selects Mipsology Zebra Software to Accelerate Alveo U50 FPGA – IAM Network

AI software innovator Mipsology today announced that its Zebra neural network accelerating software has been integrated into the latest build of Xilinx's Alveo U50 data center accelerator card, the industry's first low profile adaptable accelerator with PCIe Gen 4 support. Zebra's ease-of-use and high throughput enable the Alveo U50 to compute convolutional neural networks with zero effort. This is the latest in a series of Zebra-enhanced Xilinx boards that enable inference acceleration for a wide variety of sophisticated AI applications. "The level of acceleration that Zebra brings to our Alveo cards puts CPU and GPU accelerators to shame," said Ramine Roane, Xilinx's Vice President of marketing. "Combined with Zebra, Alveo U50 meets the flexibility and performance needs of AI workloads and offers high throughput and low latency performance advantages to any deployment."
