CUPERTINO, Calif., Aug. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- HOT CHIPS 2018
– At the 2018 Hot Chips conference this week, Xilinx, Inc.
(NASDAQ: XLNX), the leader in adaptive and intelligent computing,
will present a tutorial, three technical sessions and a keynote by
Xilinx CEO Victor Peng, all
highlighting the company's vision for the future of computing and
how Xilinx is uniquely positioned to address it.
The explosion of AI and pervasive intelligence, combined with
the demand for exponentially increasing computing power after
Moore's Law, has given rise to domain-specific architectures
(DSAs). Xilinx technology is ideally suited for DSAs as it can be
programmed and tuned to address today's most complex and demanding
architectures with impressive results across a wide variety of
workloads and applications. The same piece of silicon can be
updated and reconfigured to tackle multiple tasks. This movement
will be underscored by five talks to be given at the event:
- Victor Peng, Xilinx CEO, will
present his vision for the future in a keynote titled "Adaptable
Intelligence: the Next Computing Era," at 11:45 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 21.
- Juanjo Noguera, engineering
director, Xilinx Architecture Group, will present on "HW/SW Programmable Engine: Domain Specific
Architecture for Project Everest." This is a first peek at
one of the novel heterogeneous components in the forthcoming
"Everest" product family, which will provide orders of magnitude
performance increase. Everest is part of a new category of
computing technology called the Adaptive Compute Acceleration
Platform (ACAP). This will be delivered at 9:45 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 21.
- Rahul Nimaiyar, director of Data Center and IP Solutions at
Xilinx, will describe the deep neural network (DNN) processor for
Xilinx FPGAs that is currently available for use in Amazon Web
Services (AWS) F1 instance. The talk is titled "Xilinx Tensor
Processor: An Inference Engine, Network Compiler + Runtime for
Xilinx FPGAs." It will be presented at 4
p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 21.
- Song Yao, co-founder and CEO of
DeePhi Technologies – now a Xilinx company – will present a session
titled "The Evolution of Deep Learning Accelerators Upon the
Evolution of Deep Learning Algorithms," at 3:30 p.m., also on Tuesday, Aug. 21.
- Michaela Blott, principal
engineer for Xilinx CTO, will share insights from the forefront of
research in a tutorial on architectures for deep neural nets called
"Deep Learning and Computer Architectures." This takes places at
2 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 19.
