AMD Versal AI Engine Technology Enables High-Performance Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Requirements
Customers working on next-generation DSP applications require tremendous compute capabilities that are not efficiently implemented in traditional FPGA architectures. Compute-intensive DSP applications such as FIR, FFT, and General Matrix Multiply can use significant amounts of DSP blocks and programmable logic resources.
This requirement can significantly reduce overall compute capacity available on traditional programmable logic devices. Simply increasing DSP blocks and programmable logic available is not a scalable solution for intensive DSP workloads, which have strict power budgets.
Versal AI Engines are designed to deliver a more efficient compute solution in these cases.
