Version
2.0 English

The Xilinx® Alveo™ U50LV data center accelerator cards are peripheral component interconnect express ( PCIe® ) Gen3x4 compliant cards featuring the Xilinx 16 nm UltraScale+ technology. In this release, the DPU is implemented in program logic for deep learning inference acceleration.

Note: Some models cannot run at the highest frequency of DPU and need DPU frequency reduction. See For Cloud (Alveo U50LV/U55C Cards, Versal VCK5000 Card) for DPU frequency reduction operation.

U50LV Performance with 10PE275 MHz DPUCAHX8H

The following table shows the throughput performance (in frames/sec or fps) for various neural network samples on U50LV Gen3x4 with DPUCAHX8H running at 10PE@275 MHz.
