The ADM-PA100 is an adaptable PCIe form factor Versal™ ACAP Data Processing Unit suitablefor early development and rapid deployment of solutions based on Xilinx™ Versal ACAP VC1902
AI Core device.
The PCIe form factor is suitable for desktop, lab, rack mount and data center deployments incommercial temperature ranges. Additionally, the board can optionally be deployed stand-alone
without any reliance on a host CPU. The FMC+ interface on the board allows off-chip support ofthe many standard and custom interfaces that can be supported by the Versal ACAP through thevery wide range of Alpha Data and 3rd Party FMC IO adapters available. Flexible reference
designs, allowing customers to access the full IO flexibility of the chip are provided for both theVivado and Vitis tool chains.
The powerful VC1902 ACAP AI Core device provides a flexible device featuring 400 AI Engine
VLIW processor cores capable of 133 INT8 TOPs for Machine Learning or DSP applications, withsupport for scalar processing on on-chip 2 ARM® Cortex™ A72 Application class CPU cores and2 ARM Cortex R5 real-time CPU core. These processors are complemented by a large area of
7nm Programmable Logic containing 900k LUTs, almost 2000 DSP tiles and 164Mb 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.
