The ADM-PA101 is an adaptable PCIe form factor Versal ACAP acceleration platform suitable forearly development and rapid deployment of solutions based on XIlinx Versal ACAP devices.
The powerful VC1802 ACAP device provides a flexible device including 2 ARM Cortex A72
Application class CPU cores and 2 ARM Cortex R5 real-time CPU cores, coupled with 300
Adaptable Intelligent Engine VLIW processor cores capable of 100 INT8 TOPs in Machine
Learning or DSP applications. These processors are complemented by a large area of 7nm
Programmable Logic containing 725k LUTs, almost 1600 DSP tiles and 119Mb of very highbandwidth SRAM suitable for attaching extremely high performance and high efficiency offload
acceleration to the ARM and AIE array processors. The device provides, and the board allows,
access to a large number of configurable IO pins and Gigabit Transceiver ports which canconnect to built-in hard-IP cores for 100G Multi-rate Ethernet, PCIe and DDR4, or can becontrolled by custom IO logic in the programmable fabric supporting an incredibly wide range ofcommunication standards and applications. The FMC+ interface on the board allows off-chip
support of these interfaces through the wide range of Alpha Data and 3rd Party FMC IO adapters
available.
The PCIe form factor is suitable for desktop, lab, rack mount and data center deployments incommercial temperature ranges. This allows the board to be used from development todeployment.
