10 Deep Learning Inferencing with Mipsology using Xilinx ALVEO™ on Dell EMC Infrastructure
Here are few examples of applications:
Video surveillance
Video surveillance can be
implemented via multiple
cameras with a single
ALVEO/Zebra combo installed in
a Dell PowerEdge R740 server.
All cameras would run
concurrently in real time, not
sequentially as on GPU boards.
In the case of GPUs, the above
scenario would need multiple GPU
boards or significant R&D effort, dramatically increasing the cost and complicating the
deployment. With multiple neural networks running in parallel on a single board, scaling
up/down is considerably simplified. Not to mention the increased portability for edge computing
vis-à-vis multiple GPU boards that would further call for additional power and need for cooling.
Smart City Surveillance
A subclass of video surveillance, monitoring a
city to assure its safety can be carried out by
an ALVEO/Zebra combo. For example, in a
surveillance system installed in a city with
hundreds of main street intersections, cameras
scrutinize the traffic crossing at each of the
intersection. The ALVEO/Zebra combo
installed in a set of Dell PowerEdge R740
servers in a surveillance center can receive
the feeds via a 4G/5G connections, process
them to identify any event that needs attention.
Local processing can also be performed using
the same Zebra technology in a smaller Dell computer near the intersection.
