Vitis Unified Software Platform enables you to leverage the power of Xilinx adaptive computing platforms to accelerate diverse workloads like Vision & Image Processing, Data Analytics, Machine Learning, Quantitative Finance, High-Performance Computing (HPC) and others. Using Vitis, you can develop FPGA-accelerated algorithms in familiar programming languages like C and C++, without any prior RTL coding or FPGA design experience. The Vitis 2021.2 Developer AMI includes the following: Vitis Core Development Kit - Comprehensive developer tools to compile, analyze and debug - Xilinx Runtime Library (XRT) - Open-source standardized software interface that facilitates communication between the application code and the accelerated-kernels - Vitis Target Platforms for Alveo Accelerator Cards (Alveo U200, U250 and U50) Vitis also offers a rich set of FPGA-accelerated performance-optimized libraries that can be used in your applications as-is, modified to suit your specific needs - You can optionally add these libraries from GitHub to your developer AMI Note: This Developer AMI supports application development using Vitis 2021.2 and is not meant for deployment (hardware runs ). If you are interested in developing an FPGA-accelerated application for deployment specifically on the Amazon EC2 F1 FPGA instances, please use the FPGA Developer AMI : https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B06VVYBLZZ?ref=cns_srchrow
