AI+: Combining AI and Other Critical Functions Using Intel FPGAs

Tuesday, May 21, 2:10 PM - 2:40 PM
Summit Track: 
Enabling Technologies
Exhibit Hall ET 2

AI is increasingly being deployed in vision applications, and most of these applications require other functionality in addition to AI. For example, a system may require AI plus high-performance I/O for lower system latency, AI plus encryption for security or AI plus networking to achieve persistence. In cases like these, the unique flexibility of the Intel® FPGA fabric and I/O, along with the FPGA’s optimized compute engines, enable system developers to deliver truly differentiated solutions. In this presentation, we explain how Intel FPGAs enable “AI+” – combining AI and other functionality to create efficient, highly integrated, high-performance solutions. We’ll present several examples showing how AI+ is being used today. We will also explain how Intel’s OpenVINO toolchain enables you to easily develop AI+ solutions.
