Overview

VVDN, together with AMD and Kinara, offers VVDN-EAIA an edge AI appliance optimized for high-quality, real time video analytics for smart retail, smart cities and industrial use cases.

VVDN-EAIA includes a power-efficient, compact AMD Xilinx Kria K26 SOM integrated with 4 Kinara Ara-1 AI processors to support advanced AI analytics on up to 8 parallel video streams with a resolution of 1080P@30fps.

The edge appliance comes with a PetaLinux embedded SDK and Kinara SDK, which can seamlessly port user’s AI models and customize video pipelines. It is tailored to provide a solution that is out of the box ready for deployment with minimal FPGA programming required.

Features

  • Ability to handle 8 concurrent 1080p@30fps video streams
  • End-to-End hardware acceleration of AI inference models enabling real-time analytics for the 8 parallel streams
  • Standard vision pre- and post- processing functions automatically mapped to Kria’s programmable logic
  • Software and higher-level user applications run on AMD KRIATM k26 SOM
  • Kinara Ara-1 AI inference processor, with its latency optimized design, runs AI inference at a high performance, low latency and low power
  • Support for state-of-the-art AI models including vision transformers
  • Performance: Resnet-50: 400 IPS
