San Jose, California. (Xilinx Adaptation) - Leader in adaptive computing, Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) today launched powerful new solutions and intellectual property Xilinx adapters for its rapidly growing software, artificial intelligence, and hardware developer community in the first week of 2010 at the company's virtual technology conference 2021. The first week mainly focuses on software and hardware developers, with news highlights including a complete software stack for intelligent video analysis applications, as well as an extended video and image IP product portfolio for UltraScale+ ™ And the floral alphabet ™ Equipment.

The company also announced that Hackster.io will once again engage in its adaptive computing challenge and Xilinx design competition. As part of the expanded competition, now in its second year, Hackster.io will award a total prize of $70000 to 15 winners and over 350 circuit boards. The Adaptive Computing Challenge 2021 has also added a new category to recognize innovation from university students and female technology teams. The competition registration will open at Adapt this week.

Adapt 2021 will be held from September 7th to 16th, during which partners and clients will attend executive keynote speeches. In addition, there will be a series of over 100 speeches, forums, product training, and labs aimed at helping users unleash the value of adaptive computing. The six day free event starts this week, and the three-day content is aimed at software and hardware developers. The last three days of next week will focus on the company's extensive end markets, specifically discussing aerospace and defense, automotive, data center, industrial, medical, as well as wired and wireless businesses.

The first week of Xilinx Adapt aims to introduce the latest development environment and resources to new and senior developers, making it easier to build applications on Xilinx ®  Ramine Roane, Vice President of Artificial Intelligence and Software Marketing at Xilinx, said. We are committed to helping the developer community accelerate applications on adaptive hardware, drive the industry forward, and have a positive impact on people's lives. By interfacing with popular domain specific and more general open-source development frameworks, we are making programming for adaptive platforms more accessible to all developers. "

The highlights of the first week of Adapt 2021 for the developer community include:

Intelligent video analysis application

New grapes ™ The Video Analysis SDK is a video analysis software development kit that provides a complete software stack for intelligent video analysis applications on the Xilinx platform, deployed on edge to cloud platforms. The end-to-end video analysis solution supports video decoding, preprocessing, artificial intelligence inference, tracking, and post-processing to accelerate the entire application. It supports widely used artificial intelligence models such as YOLO, SSD, ResNet, Inception, RefindDet, ReID, FPN, and OpenPose for real-time objection detection, classification, and segmentation.

The Vitis Video Analytics SDK provides a foundational layer for video analytics applications, such as understanding vehicle and pedestrian traffic patterns in smart cities, health and safety monitoring in hospitals, self checkout and analytics in retail, and detecting component defects in manufacturing factories.

In addition, it provides a complete framework for developers to develop custom acceleration libraries using common infrastructure plugins, software acceleration libraries, and interfaces, thereby controlling custom hardware accelerators. Vitis Video SDK is built on top of and abstracts from Xilinx, a global leader in programmable logic solutions ® Run time (XRT) and Vitis AI tools enable developers to easily build video analysis and transcoding pipelines without having to learn the complexity of XRT and Vitis AI tools.

Expand the portfolio of video and image IP products

Xilinx technology is at the core of many video and visual applications, including smart cameras, next-generation industrial vision, automotive driving assistance and autonomous driving, smart retail and safety, broadcasting, Pro AV, as well as consumer products such as television and gaming. In order to meet the constantly evolving requirements and demands of these applications, Xilinx has significantly expanded its UltraScale+video and image IP product portfolio ™ And Versal ™ Equipment.

Xilinx has achieved higher quality 8K video capture and 8K display through the industry's first HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort (DP) 1.4, as well as UltraScale+and Versal products. By combining HDMI 2.1 or DP 1.4 with their 8K scaler and mixer IPs, customers can build a complete end-to-end 8K video pipeline. In order to provide gamers with an immersive gaming experience, Xilinx's video and image product portfolio now includes high dynamic range (HDR), high frame rate, and variable refresh rate formats, as well as adaptive synchronization across UltraScale+and Versal product lines.

Other advanced new features in the video IP product portfolio include 4k60 Warp, with horizontal and vertical keystone correction, lens distortion correction, rotation, and arbitrary Warp, suitable for video walls, advanced conference cameras, projectors, and automotive applications.

Xilinx also announced the launch of a comprehensive and improved Vitis vision library for developers in the automotive, industrial machine vision, and intelligent camera application fields, including image signal processing (ISP) using HDR and machine learning (ML) neural network preprocessing and post-processing capabilities using OpenCV API.

Finally, the upcoming Vivado ® The 2021.2 version will support the 4:4:4 YUV color space from Xilinx, a global leader in programmable logic solutions ® Zynq ® Ultra Large Scale+Electric Vehicle Home. Combining Xilinx's HDMI, DP, video processing, and video mixer IPs, as well as the migration of broadcast and Pro AV to standards based methods, to transmit AV over IP networks, the 4:4:4 color space provides customers with full fidelity of streaming video. Vivado 2021.2 is expected to be released by the end of the year.

Adaptive Computing Challenge 2021

Hackster.io once again requests developers to integrate the powerful features of Xilinx's adaptive computing platform with Vitis' unified software platform, Vitis' development environment, or Vivado ML version to solve real-world problems. Participants in the 2021 Adaptive Computing Challenge will compete in three categories: edge computing, data center AI and big data analysis, including early access to new big data analysis development boards for big data and related applications. The first prize for each category is $10000.

In addition, the Xilinx University project is sponsoring adaptive computing challenges submitted by college students, and each project in these three categories will receive an additional reward of $2500. The competition aims to encourage innovation in adaptive computing acceleration among universities.

Finally, encouraging and praising women's talents is an important initiative of Xilinx. To further support diversity in the technology field, Xilinx has sponsored a new Women's Technology Award with a prize of $2500. Teams composed of at least 50% women are eligible to submit their projects, as well as their edge computing, data center AI and big data analysis submissions.
