Vitis FastTrack: Session 2 – AI

BLT’s Vitis FastTrack series demonstrates the tools and techniques required for both software and hardware accelerated design using the Vitis Unified Software platform.

Learn how Vitis helps accelerate C, C++, and AI applications for cloud, edge, and embedded designs in a single suite. Learn how to migrate existing SDK projects and develop, debug, and profile new or existing C/C++ and RTL applications in the Vitis unified software environment targeting both embedded and cloud applications.

Skills Gained
