We Are Building the Adaptable, Intelligent World
Xilinx is the inventor of the FPGA, programmable SoCs, and now, the ACAP. Our highly-flexible programmable silicon, enabled by a suite of advanced software and tools, drives rapid innovation across a wide span of industries and technologies - from consumer to cars to the cloud. Xilinx delivers the most dynamic processing technology in the industry, enabling rapid innovation with its adaptable, intelligent computing.
High Performance Computing & Data Center Applications
The parallelism and customizable architecture inherent in the FPGA architecture is ideal for high-throughput processing and software acceleration. Xilinx devices and acceleration cards are able maximize usable system performance through lower power. These factors combine to allow HPC and Data Center platforms based on Xilinx technology to deliver massive processing performance at a fraction of the power of GPUs and multi-core Microprocessors.
Xilinx offers highly flexible and adaptive processing platforms that enable innovation in compute, storage and networking within the Data Center and High Performance Computing enviroments:
- Compute Acceleration
- Computational Storage
- Network Acceleration & SmartNICs
Acceleration for Dynamic Workloads
Xilinx® Alveo™ Data Center accelerator cards are designed to meet the constantly changing needs of the modern Data Center, providing up to 90X performance increase over CPUs for common workloads, including machine learning inference, video transcoding, and database search and analytics.
With complex algorithms evolving faster than silicon design cycles, it’s impossible for fixed function GPU and ASIC devices to keep pace. Built on Xilinx 16nm UltraScale™ architecture, Alveo U200 and U250 accelerator cards provide reconfigurable acceleration that can adapt to continual algorithm optimizations, supporting any workload type while reducing overall cost of ownership.
Enabling Alveo accelerator cards is a growing ecosystem of Xilinx and partner applications for common Data Center workloads. For custom solutions, Xilinx’s Application Developer tool (SDAccel™ tool) and Machine Learning Suite provide the tools for developers to bring differentiated applications to market.
