AI Acceleration Solutions FPGAs from Cloud to Edge - AI Acceleration Solutions FPGAs from Cloud to Edge Discover how Altera FPGAs accelerate AI workloads from the cloud to the network to the edge. Altera is delivering the new era of FPGAi with high-performance and AI-infused FPGA fabric. Our tightly integrated programmable logic and AI enable real-time data adaptation and autonomous decision-making, equipping systems to achieve next-gen complexities. Altera offers custom solutions to implement AI models efficiently—from power-efficient TinyML to medium and large models that can be deployed efficiently at edge and GenAI and other LLM Transformer models in data centers. Accelerate AI enablement of your custom solution Why FPGAs Why FPGAs Get Started Get Started FPGAs are exceptionally well-suited for enabling AI at the edge, where real-time decision-making, low power consumption, and flexible connectivity are critical. They are widely adopted across industries such as industrial automation, medical technology, test and measurement systems, aerospace, defense, and broadcast media — all of which require high performance under strict constraints. What sets FPGAs apart is their ability to combine integrated Arm® processors and Nios® V soft processors, which together offer both hardened and customizable compute capabilities within a single device. Additionally, FPGAs support a broad range of I/O protocols, enabling seamless connectivity to diverse sensors and data sources commonly found at the edge. Edge AI View Details Edge AI FPGAs are inherently suited for AI. The FPGAs thousands of DSP blocks, memory hierarchies, and broad I/O support allow customization of designs and the construction of AI networks from the ground up to achieve optimal performance allowing you to implement any Gen AI and LLM transformer models or custom models of your choosing GenAI or Custom View Details GenAI or Custom With 800 GbE support, tailor-made solutions can be designed for AI cluster creators with FPGAs acting as FPGA AI NICs to reduce data ingest jitter and network congestion of GPUs during training or inference. Custom and Open standard options for scale in and scale out are supported. FPGAs are great for AI pre-processing, where data is formatted and filtered to be efficiently used in AI training or inference. FPGAs can accelerate private enterprise databases for fast data retrieval. AI Attach View Details AI Attach FPGAs are great for data pre-processing and post-processing in AI training and AI inference at edge or in data centers. They can be deployed ubiquitously in all applications in any location let alone space constrained edge location. FPGAi Use Cases Use Cases
