Accelerating Inference in Computer Vision Tasks with VCK190 and Vitis AI

Abstract

[Abstract] The increasing use of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) for real-time tasks has created a need for specialized hardware accelerators.This paper presents a study of the Xilinx VCK190 development board, a next generation Adaptive Compute Acceleration Platform (ACAP) for artificial intelligence tasks, representing a first approach to this technology at the Universidade da Coru˜ña. The work details a complete workflow using Vitis AI, covering the quantization, compilation, and deployment of a neural network model. The results establish a solid technical baseline, intended to facilitate the integration of this advanced hardware into future academic and research projects.
