Design-Forward Unified Software Platforms

Xilinx' Vitis Platform is Efficient and Adaptive

— October 8, 2019 — Special
Vitis is a new unified software platform by Xilinx -- a "leader in adaptive and intelligent computing." The launch is exciting because it makes adaptable hardware accessible to a broad new range of developers, facilitating the grounds for optimal usability and interdisciplinary engagement.

The unified software platform is a bridge for Xilinx's hardware architecture as it tailors it seamlessly to the software or algorithmic code. Thus, it enables users to adapt hardware architecture to applications without the necessity of new silicon or high-level hardware expertise.

While the first layer of Vitis boasts "a board and preprogrammed I/O," its core development kit features tools such as compilers, analyzers, and debuggers, as well as the open-source Xilinx runtime library that ensures the efficient management of data across different domains, including subsystems and external hosts.

The tools provided by the unified software platform are specifically designed to also integrate with industry-standard build systems and other mainstream developer-focused environments.
Trend Themes
1. Unified Software Development - Companies can develop a unified software platform that can integrate with industry-standard build systems and mainstream developer-focused environments.
2. Adaptive Hardware Architecture - There is an opportunity for companies to develop hardware architecture that can be tailored seamlessly to software or algorithmic code, without the need for new silicon or high-level hardware expertise.
3. Efficient Data Management - An opportunity for companies to create tools that ensure efficient management of data across different domains, including subsystems and external hosts.
Industry Implications
1. Semiconductor - Semiconductor companies could specialize in creating unified software platforms and adaptive hardware architecture that can cater to a broad range of developers and interdisciplinary engagement.
2. Software Development - Software development companies can benefit from developing tools that integrate with industry-standard build systems and mainstream developer-focused environments, as well as creating efficient data management solutions.
3. Artificial Intelligence - AI companies could benefit from creating unified software platforms that integrate adaptive hardware architecture and efficient data management solutions to optimize usability and interdisciplinary engagement.
