Xilinx, which plays a critical role at every layer of the 5G landscape, from core and edge applications to the radio, will be showcasing the breadth of its 5G O-RAN offerings, 28 February through 3 March, in Hall 2, Stand 2M61, at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Powered by Xilinx adaptive SoCs, highly integrated streaming solutions are ready-to-ship or customise by customers for a simpler, faster time-to-market and deployment.

Powerful and programmable, Xilinx devices handle real-time processing for a wide range of Sony’s professional products. Xilinx has announced that its FPGA and adaptive SoC devices are powering a range of Sony’s electronics products used for professional audio-video (AV) applications, including the XVS-G1 4K Live Production Switcher.

Over the last three decades, we’ve seen a shift from specialised units for various video and audio functions, to high performance hardware platforms which can be repurposed on-the-fly to support any AV processing, and now to virtualised media applications and microservices which can be spun up and deployed (and paid for) only when you need them (Figure 1). Rob Green, Senior Manager, Pro AV, Broadcast & Consumer, Xilinx, explains.

Xilinx and Motovis have announced that the two companies are collaborating on a solution that pairs the Xilinx Automotive Zynq system-on-chip platform and Motovis’ convolutional neural network IP to the automotive market, specifically for forward camera systems’ vehicle perception and control. The solution builds upon Xilinx’s corporate initiative to provide customers with robust platforms to enhance and speed developm...

Xilinx has recently introduced the Versal HBM adaptive compute acceleration platform (ACAP), the newest series in the Versal portfolio.

Xilinx has introduced the Versal HBM adaptive compute acceleration platform (ACAP), the newest series in the Versal portfolio. The Versal HBM series enables the convergence of fast memory, secure connectivity, and adaptable compute in a single platform. Versal HBM ACAPs integrate the most advanced HBM2e DRAM, providing 820GB/s of throughput and 32GB of capacity for eight times more memory bandwidth and 63% lower power than DDR...

Xilinx has introduced the Versal AI Edge series, designed to enable AI innovation from the edge to the endpoint. With four times the AI performance-per-watt versus GPUs and ten times greater compute density versus previous-generation adaptive SoCs, the Versal AI Edge series is a scalable and adaptable portfolio for next-generation distributed intelligent systems.

Enclustra’s Andromeda XZU90 is the first module from the brand new Andromeda product family. It is modular and optimised for high-end applications. It supports up to 6 Samtec ADM6-60 high-speed connectors with up to 686 user I/Os.

Xilinx has introduced the Kria portfolio of adaptive system-on-modules (SOMs), production-ready small form factor embedded boards that enable rapid deployment in edge-based applications. Coupled with a complete software stack and pre-built, production-grade accelerated applications, Kria adaptive SOMs are a new method of bringing adaptive computing to AI and software developers.

Xilinx has announced that its Versal AI Core and Versal Prime series devices are now shipping to customers in full production volumes. Additionally, the third series in the Versal portfolio, Versal Premium, has now shipped to multiple tier-one customers through the company’s early access program.

The wireless future is about developing the most compelling products using a combination of advanced technologies to maximise system performance, while optimising both cost and power. Brendan Farley, VP Wireless Engineering & MD EMEA at Xilinx explains.

Xilinx has announced the company has expanded its UltraScale+ portfolio for markets with new applications that require ultra-compact and intelligent edge solutions. With form factors that are 70% smaller than traditional chip-scale packaging, the new Artix and Zynq UltraScale+ devices can now address a wider range of applications within the industrial, vision, healthcare, broadcast, consumer, automotive, and networking markets.

Xilinx has launched an AI video analytics platform with an ecosystem of partner solutions built to accelerate the most complex and latency-sensitive AI video inferencing applications. Pejman Roshan, Vice President of Marketing, Data Center Group, explains more.

Addressing the demands of the modern data centre, Xilinx has announced a range of new data centre products and solutions, including a new family of Alveo SmartNICs, smart world AI video analytics applications, an accelerated algorithmic trading reference design for sub-microsecond trading, and the Xilinx App Store. 

Since the millennium algorithmic trading has been gaining traction and is now widely used by investment banks, pension, mutual and hedge funds, that may need to spread out the execution of a larger order or perform trades too fast for human traders to react to. A study in 2019 showed that around 92% of trading in the foreign exchange market was performed by trading algorithms rather than humans. However, systems that are deployed today are by no ...

Xilinx has announced that the company is supplying its UltraScale+ technology to Fujitsu for its O-RAN 5G radio units (O-RUs). Fujitsu O-RUs using Xilinx technology will be deployed in the first O-RAN-compliant 5G greenfield networks in the US Fujitsu is also evaluating Xilinx RFSoC technology to further reduce cost and power consumption for additional future site deployments.

Kiran Vishal Thanjavur Bhaaskar, Sr. IIoT & AI Solutions Architect - Industrial, Vision, Healthcare & Sciences at Xilinx explains how adaptive computing has the tools needed to do every job.

Xilinx has announced it has acquired Falcon Computing Solutions, a privately-held provider of high-level synthesis (HLS) compiler optimisation technology for hardware acceleration of software applications. The acquisition will make adaptive computing more accessible to software developers by enhancing the Xilinx Vitis Unified Software Platform with automated hardware-aware optimisations.
