1.2 English

Starting from Vitis AI 1.2, a new DPU naming is used to better differentiate various DPUs served for different purposes. The old DPUv1/v2/v3 naming is deprecated.

The new DPU naming convention is shown in the following illustration:

DPU Naming Example

To better understand the mapping of the old DPU names into this naming, see the following table:
