AMD Versal™ adaptive SoC devices are the industry's first adaptive compute acceleration platforms, combining adaptable processing and acceleration engines with programmable logic and configurable connectivity to enable customized, heterogeneous hardware solutions for a wide variety of applications in Data Center, Automotive, 5G Wireless, Wired, and Defense.
AMD Versal Adaptive SoCs provide transformational features such as the following:
- Integrated silicon host interconnect shell and AI Engines
- Programmable logic (PL)
- A processor subsystem (PS)
Providing superior performance/watt over conventional FPGAs, CPUs, and GPUs.
Versal devices are built from a library of building blocks dedicated to processing, compute, acceleration, and connectivity. The following figure shows a top-level view of the Versal adaptive SoC, that contains three major architectural areas: the Arm® processing system, the programmable logic, and the AI Engine array. They form a tightly integrated heterogeneous compute platform.
