Alveo-U200-Multi-Channel-Frame-Grabber for AI-Enhanced Machine Vision

Configured as a smart frame grabber, the Xilinx® Alveo™ U200 FPGA accelerator card can analyze multiple high-resolution, high-frame-rate camera channels to both accelerate industrial inspection and enable new insights into manufacturing processes. The card is capable of extracting intelligence from up to eight 10GigE (10 Gb Ethernet) high-speed, low-latency camera streams, greatly outperforming comparable single-input 10GigE frame grabbers. Alternatively, it can handle 96 individual GigE camera streams, compared to a conventional 4-input frame grabber. Performance benchmarks show 8x/2.5x advantage over CPU or P4 GPU respectively. Power efficiency is 42 images/s/W for GoogleNetv1(int8) DNN in low-latency mode versus 28 images/s/W for P4 GPU.
