SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc.
(NASDAQ: XLNX) today announced that its software defined
development environment, SDAccel™, is now available on Amazon Web
Services (AWS) for use with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon
EC2) F1 instances. Amazon EC2 F1 instances provide reconfigurable,
custom-hardware acceleration with 16nm Virtex® UltraScale+™ FPGAs
enabling customers to meet the demands of compute-intensive
workloads like data analytics, video processing and machine
learning.
With the availability of the SDAccel Development Environment for
Amazon EC2 F1 instances, software developers less familiar with
FPGAs can now get up to 50x better performance for their workloads.
SDAccel automates the acceleration of software application written
in C, C++ or OpenCL by building application-specific FPGA kernels
for Amazon EC2 F1. SDAccel also supports traditional hardware
designers writing optimized accelerators in lower-level hardware
description languages such as VHDL Verilog.
SDAccel is accessible through the AWS FPGA developer AMI which
allows developers to quickly build applications on the cloud,
without requiring the purchase or installation of any software or
hardware. Developers can then deploy and elastically scale their
application to meet any customer demand using the full breadth of
AWS services.
Visit Xilinx for more information on the SDAccel Development
Environment and Xilinx FPGAs.
