How does the FPGA AI Suite utilize Agilex 5 DSP Blocks? - How does the FPGA AI Suite utilize Agilex 5 DSP Blocks? Hello Altera Community. I have a module called "dot_bf16" that uses the bf16 floating point format to calculate dot product and I am wondering if it uses the Agilex5 AI optimized DSP blocks to do this. I can't myself see how the DSP blocks are configured because they are all encrypted. 1. Agilex™ 5 Variable Precision DSP Blocks Overview • Variable Precision DSP Blocks User Guide Agilex™ 5 FPGAs and SoCs • Altera Documentation and Resources Center This document states that there are 3 operational modes for tensor mode: 1. Tensor float point mode 2. Tensor fixed point mode 3. Tensor accumulation mode Does the FPGA AI Suite utilize any of these? I also noticed the module uses a FSM and controller. Replies: Re: How does the FPGA AI Suite utilize Agilex 5 DSP Blocks? The usage will depend on the architecture precision selected. It will be using it if you are using FP12AGX or FP11. Thanks. - 2026-07-06
