Xilinx Provides Environment to Accelerate Amazon Web Services Data Centers
Published2017.09.18 10:55Xilinx’s software-defined development environment, SDAccel, is available on Amazon Web Services (AWS) with Amazon EC2 (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud) F1 instances.
Amazon EC2 F1 instances provide 16nm Virtex UltraScale+ FPGAs and reconfigurable custom hardware acceleration, enabling customers to meet the demands of compute-intensive workloads such as data analysis, video processing, and machine learning.
With the use of the SDAccel development environment for Amazon EC2 F1 instances, software developers unfamiliar with FPGAs can now achieve up to 50x productivity gains. SDAccel automates the acceleration of software applications written in C, C++, or OpenCL by building application-specific FPGA kernels for Amazon EC2 F1. It also supports optimized acceleration for existing hardware designers writing in low-level hardware description languages such as VHDL and Verilog.
SDAccel is accessible via the AWS FPGA Developer AMI, allowing developers to rapidly build applications in the cloud without purchasing or installing software or hardware. Developers can then utilize the full range of AWS services to deploy and flexibly scale applications that meet customer needs.
