AI is projected to grow exponentially, which is exciting. Most of the revenue that has been made so far has been around training and research. This of course makes sense – AI is still very young, and people are constantly coming up with new ways of improving accuracy and making AI more efficient.

AI inference is pushing technology limits and have ushered in the era of domain specific architectures, moving on from CPUs and fixed hardware accelerators, in order to meet performance requirements.

However, as AI continues to evolve at pace, it is creating a number of challenges. Nick Ni, Director of Product Marketing, AI, Software, Ecosystem, at Xilinx highlights these challenges and how Xilinx are meeting them. See below.
