AMD Alveo Compute Accelerator Product Brief
The AMD Alveo V80 compute accelerator—powered by the AMD Versal HBM adaptive SoC—is built for memory-intensive workloads in HPC, data analytics, network security, storage acceleration, FinTech, and more.
Familiar FPGA Design Flows
The AMD Alveo V80 card is fully enabled for traditional hardware developers through the Alveo Versal Example Design (AVED), available on GitHub. AVED simplifies hardware bring-up and jumpstarts development using traditional FPGA and RTL flows, based on the AMD Vivado Design Suite.
The example design is tailored for AMD Alveo hardware and provides an efficient starting point using a pre-built PCIe subsystem implemented on the Versal HBM device. It includes Alveo Management Interface (AMI) host software for control and a stress test synthetic workload (XBTEST) for easy bring-up and testing in your server of choice.
