SW Programmable Silicon Infrastructure
Adaptive SoCs have been built from the ground-up to be natively software programmable without needing to know RTL (register-transfer level) languages or FPGA architectures. The platform is readily accessible to software developers and data scientists using their preferred tool flows, while providing an accelerated development path for hardware designers.
Key to the platform’s ease of programming is the integrated shell—consisting of a platform management controller, hardened host interface (integrated PCIe® w/DMA), memory controllers, and network interfaces interconnected with a multi-terabit, memory mapped programmable network on chip (NoC) for massive data flow and instant connectivity to compute and network infrastructure. The integrated shell delivers pre-engineered timing closure and logic resource savings so developers can focus on their key differentiation.
Unprecedented Integration of Hardened, Domain-Specific IP
With 3X more hardened IP than competing 10nm FPGAs, Versal adaptive SoCs feature a common hardened infrastructure across all devices for ease of programming and code portability, as well as domain-specific hardened IP for diverse markets.
The balance of adaptable hardware and hardened cores delivers performance/watt leadership for leading applications in cloud, network, and edge, all while retaining hardware flexibility to adapt to changing requirements and market dynamics.
