Getting Started with Xilinx ML Suite

Xilinx ML Suite v1.5

The Xilinx Machine Learning (ML) Suite provides users with the tools to develop and deploy Machine Learning applications for Real-time Inference. It provides support for many common machine learning frameworks such as Caffe, Tensorflow, and MXNet.

The ML Suite is composed of three basic parts:

1. ML Framework and Open Source Support - Support for high level ML Frameworks and other open source projects.
2. xfDNN Middleware - Software Library and Tools to Interface with ML Frameworks and optimize networks for Real-time Inference.
3. xDNN IP - High Performance CNN processing engine.
