White Paper: Designer's Journey: Navigating the Transition to AMD Versal™ Adaptive SoC

August 18, 2022

27min read time (3500 words)

This Versal™ Adaptive SoC engineer-to-engineer designer’s journey explores step-by-step how Mercury's engineering team used Versal for a single test application. It is intended to assist other development teams as they adopt Versal design. Ever-increasing data volumes, rising computation demands and real-time performance expectations can no longer be satisfied by traditional solutions. With the introduction of Versal technology, AMD has enabled an innovative approach for the next era of specialized computing. This highly dense, next-generation chip solution combines multiple types of processing elements to form a whole new category of dramatically faster devices that step beyond the current CPU/GPU/FPGA paradigm. Utilizing this technology, we can now solve the most advanced radar, cognitive EW and AI challenges — all on a single board. Optimized to solve the most advanced radar, and cognitive EW and AI challenges.
