Versal Premium series also hits milestone with
first shipments to early access customers
Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX), the leader in adaptive computing,
today announced that its Versal™ AI Core and Versal Prime series
devices are now shipping to customers in full production volumes.
Additionally, the third series in the Versal portfolio, Versal
Premium, has now shipped to multiple tier-one customers through the
company’s early access program. Versal is the industry’s first
adaptive compute acceleration platform (ACAP). Versal ACAPs combine
scalar processing engines, adaptable hardware engines, intelligent
engines with leading-edge memory and interfacing technologies to
deliver powerful heterogeneous acceleration for any application
beyond the capabilities of an FPGA.
Versal AI Core and Prime Series in Full Production
The Versal AI Core series delivers the highest compute and
lowest latency in the Versal portfolio, enabling breakthrough AI
inference throughput and performance through its AI engines. Versal
AI Core is optimized for compute-intensive applications primarily
for the data center, 5G wireless, and A&D markets, including
machine learning and advanced signal processing. Customers have
deployed Versal AI Core to accelerate workloads such as 5G gNodeB
base stations, satellite-based broadband services, and audio-video
bridging in 3D immersive stadium sports videos.
Versal AI Core series customer Gilat enables satellite-based
mobile broadband for in-flight and consumer broadband, and cellular
backhaul.
“Gilat provides leading satellite-based broadband communication
solutions in multiple market segments. We are excited to be among
the first customers to adopt the Versal AI Core series. The
embedded AI engine technology is a key enabler, leading to a
massive increase in throughput at lower power for Gilat's
next-generation wide-band gateway receivers. Incorporating the AI
engine technology featured in the Versal AI Core will provide the
flexibility and performance required by the growing demand for
increased bandwidth and throughput in Gilat's networks,” says Noam
Rosenfeld, senior vice president research & development at
Gilat Satellite Networks.
The Versal Prime series is designed for broad applicability
across multiple markets and optimizes connectivity and in-line
acceleration of a diverse set of workloads. Customers see success
deploying Versal Prime series for data center workloads such as
storage acceleration, firewalls and other wired communications
applications, and satellite-based broadband services in aerospace
& defense markets.
Versal Premium First Customer Shipments
Versal Premium series, featuring highly-integrated and
power-optimized cores, has reached a significant milestone with
shipments to multiple tier-one customers. Versal Premium supports
the massive bandwidth, security, and compute density required for
next-generation enterprise and cloud deployment. Versal Premium
features 112Gbps PAM4 transceivers, 600G Ethernet cores, 400G
cryptographic engines, and PCIe® Gen5 connectivity. Versal Premium
enables a wide array of high-performance applications, including
transport networking in wired communications, data center compute,
next-generation enterprise and virtual firewalls. To see Versal
