Versal AI Engine: Demystifying & Programming ONLINE WORKSHOP

Hardware developers and system architects, whether migrating from existing devices or starting out with the Versal adaptive SoC.

The workshop has been created to be accessible by a wide audience with standard technology requirements.

If you have not attended a Doulos workshop or webinar before, you can check your connection with the meeting service here »

Delivered across 2 half-day sessions 

• Versal adaptive SoC Architecture
  Provides a high-level overview of the Versal architecture, illustrating the various engines available in the the Versal architecture
• Versal AI Engine Architecture
  Introduces the architecture of the AI Engine and describes the AI Engine interfaces that are available, including the memory, lock, core debug, cascaded stream, and AXI-Stream interfaces.
• Versal AI Engine Memory and Data Movement
  Describes the memory module architecture for the AI Engine and how memory can be accessed by the AI Engines in the AI Engine arrays. 
• Scalar and Vector Data Types
  Provides an AI Engine functional overview and identifies the supported vector data types and high-width registers for allowing single-instruction multiple-data (SIMD) instructions
• AI Engine API
  Describes what AI Engine APIs are, the three types of vector
  management operations using AI Engine APIs (load and store,
  element conversion, and lane insertion/extraction), multiplication
  functions, and application-specific functions.
• Window and Streaming Data APIs
  Describes window and streaming APIs and reviews the various window operations for kernels. Also discusses using overlapping data and various data movement use cases.
• The Programming Model: Single Kernel
  Reviews the AI Engine kernel programming flow for programming
  and building a single kernel. Also illustrates the steps to create,
  compile, simulate, and debug a single kernel program using the
  Vitis IDE tool.
• The Programming Model: Single Kernel Using Vector Data Types
  Illustrates Versal AI Engine kernel programming in detail,
  reviewing the scalar kernel code and comparing with vector kernel
  code that utilizes intrinsic functions and vector data types.

Please come prepared to actively participate and engage directly with the workshop facilitator.
