Explore All the Possibilities with Vitis AI
AI Model Zoo
Open to all users rich and off-the-shelf deep learning models from the most popular frameworks, Pytorch, Tensorflow, Tensorflow 2 and Caffe. AI model zoo provides optimized and retrainable AI models, with which you will be able achieve faster deployment, performance acceleration and productization on all Xilinx platforms.
AI Optimizer
With world-leading model compression technology, we can reduce model complexity by 5x to 50x with minimal accuracy impact. Deep Compression takes the performance of your AI inference to the next level.
AI Quantizer
By converting the 32-bit floating-point weights and activations to fixed-point like INT8, the AI Quantizer can reduce the computing complexity without losing prediction accuracy. The fixed-point network model requires less memory bandwidth, thus providing faster speed and higher power efficiency than the floating-point model.
AI Compiler
Maps the AI model to a high-efficient instruction set and data flow. Also performs sophisticated optimizations such as layer fusion, instruction scheduling, and reuses on-chip memory as much as possible.
AI Profiler
The performance profiler allows programmers to perform an in-depth analysis of the efficiency and utilization of your AI inference implementation.
AI Library
The Vitis AI Library is a set of high-level libraries and APIs built for efficient AI inference with Deep-Learning Processor Unit (DPU). It is built based on the Vitis AI Runtime with unified APIs and provides easy-to-use interfaces for the AI model deployment on Xilinx platforms.
