Document Version FPGA AI SuiteVersion Changes
2024.12.16 2024.3
  • Various minor corrections and typo fixes.
2024.11.25 2024.3
  • References to "software reference" have been replaced with "software emulator" or "software emulation.". As part of this change, the --target_reference option of the build.runtime.sh script has been renamed to --target_emulation.
2024.07.31 2024.2
  • Added "The dla_benchmark Performance Metrics".
  • Added "Interpreting System Throughput and Latency Metrics".
  • Revised "Additional dla_benchmark Options".
  • Removed references to the Intel® PAC with Arria® 10 GX FPGA.

    The PCIe-based design example no longer supports the Intel® PAC with Arria® 10 GX FPGA.

  • Replaced references to the -plugins_xml_file option with the -plugins option. The -plugins_xml_file option is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
  • Revised "Script Flow".
  • Revised "Hardware".
2024.03.29 2024.1
