Product Description
The Xilinx® VCK5000 Versal™ development card is built on the Xilinx 7nm Versal™ ACAP architecture and is designed for designs requiring high throughput AI inference and signal processing compute performance.
Delivering 100X greater compute power than today’s server-class CPUs and better MLPerf inference performance than today’s server-class GPU, with standardized development flows, the VCK5000 is an ideal development platform for cloud acceleration and edge computing applications.
VCK5000 is fully supported by Vitis™ AI development environment which consists of optimized IP, tools, libraries, models, and example designs. It is designed with high efficiency and ease-of-use in mind, unleashing the full potential of AI acceleration on VCK5000. You can run Tensorflow, Pytorch, Caffe models using Python or C++ APIs in minutes without any prior hardware knowledge about FPGA.
