AI engine is the acceleration engine provided by Xilinx. These engines provide high compute density for vector-based algorithms, and flexible custom compute and data movement. It has core tiles for compute and shim tiles to interface the FPGA fabric.
You can check the AI engine architecture document for more hardware details: https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/architecture-manuals/am009-vers...
This patch series adds a Linux kernel driver to manage the Xilinx AI engine array device and AI engine partitions (groups of AI engine tiles dedicated to an application).
