The Xilinx® Alveo U50 Data Center accelerator cards are peripheral component interconnect express ( PCIe® ) Gen3x16 compliant and Gen4x8 compatible cards featuring the Xilinx 16 nm UltraScale+ technology. In this release, DPU is implemented in program logic for deep learning inference acceleration.

Refer to the following table for the throughput performance (in frames/sec or fps) for various neural network samples on U50 Gen3x4 with DPU running at 6E@300 MHz.
Note: Some models cannot run at the highest frequency of DPU and need DPU frequency reduction. See Setting Up the Host for DPU frequency reduction operation.
