Xilinx and Mipsology Release Integrated Solution for High-Performance Inference in Data Center
14 November 2018 - 4:33AM
Mipsology’s Zebra Accelerates Deep Learning Inference on
Xilinx’ Alveo Boards
Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) and Mipsology, an innovative neural
network acceleration startup, today announced that Mipsology’s
Zebra neural network accelerator computes neural networks on
Xilinx’ Alveo U200 at speeds of 2,000 images per second for
ResNet50, and 3,700 images per second on Xilinx’ Alveo U250.
“Processing neural networks with Zebra on Xilinx’ Alveo gives
users a faster solution than traditional GPUs at a lower price than
CPUs, making FPGAs ideal devices for deep learning computation,”
states Ludo Larzul, Mipsology’s founder and chief executing
officer.
Combining Xilinx’s Alveo and Mipsology’s Zebra replaces CPUs and
GPUs for neural network inference. Xilinx Alveo boards deliver
high-performance computation in data center, while Zebra’s ease of
use and high throughput enable Xilinx FPGAs of various sizes to
compute any convolutional neural network with zero effort. The
Alveo/Zebra solution offers 4x faster acceleration than the most
popular GPU board when classifying images based on ResNet50 neural
network using TensorFlow as framework.
“Zebra caught our attention with the level of acceleration
achievable on our FPGAs, specifically on our Alveo cards,” says
Ramine Roane, Xilinx’s Vice President of marketing. “Combining
speed with the ability to deliver a pre-programmed accelerator
gives Zebra a clear advantage over all other CPU or GPU
acceleration solutions.”
Xilinx and Mipsology will exhibit at SC18 now through Thursday,
November 15. Xilinx will be in Booth #2018. Mipsology will
demonstrate Zebra in Booth #3871 as part of the Startup
Pavilion.
