Alveo U200 Data Center Accelerator Card

Overview

Product Description

AMD Alveo™ U200 Data Center accelerator cards are designed to meet the constantly changing needs of the modern Data Center, providing up to 90X higher performance than CPUs for key workloads, including machine learning inference, video transcoding, and database search & analytics. Built on the AMD 16nm UltraScale™ architecture, Alveo accelerator cards are adaptable to changing acceleration requirements and algorithm standards, capable of accelerating any workload without changing hardware, and reducing overall cost of ownership.

Enabling Alveo accelerator cards is an ecosystem of AMD and partner applications for common Data Center workloads. For custom solutions, Application Developer Tool Suite (Vitis™ environment) and Machine Learning Suite from AMD provide the tools for developers to bring differentiated applications to market.

Alveo optional accessories extend the capabilities and access to Alveo data center acceleration cards. Accessories include power adapter cables and USB cables.

Key Features & Benefits

Fast - Highest Performance

  • Up to 90X higher performance than CPUs on key workloads at 1/3 the cost
  • Over 3X higher inference throughput and 3X latency advantage over GPU-based solutions

Adaptable – Accelerate Any Workload

  • Machine learning inference to video processing to any workload using the same accelerator card
  • As workload algorithms evolve, use reconfigurable hardware to adapt faster than fixed-function accelerator card product cycles

Accessible - Cloud <-> On-Premises Mobility

  • Deploy solutions on the cloud or on-premises interchangeably, scalable to application requirements
  • Applications available for common workloads, or build your own with the application developer tool

Getting Started

Alveo U200 Package File Downloads

The U200 Alveo Data Center accelerator card supports both Vivado design entry as well as a Vitis software platform. The Vivado flow is recommended for FPGA designers that want to use traditional design flows, such as RTL or HLx, while the Vitis software platform is recommended for SW developers. Select the Vitis or Vivado tab below for the steps to get started.
