Release Note¶
2021.2¶
The below features have been added to the library in this release.
- DDS / Mixer - new library element
| Function | Namespace and class name |
|---|---|
| DDS / Mixer | xf::dsp::aie::mixer::dds_mixer |
This component may be configured to one of three modes. The first mode is a DDS only. The second mode is a single channel mixer. The third mode is a symmetrical mixer, taking two input channels and mixing each with the DDS output and the conjugate of DDS output respectively, combining the result to one output channel. DDS/Mixer supports window input/output interface, as well as streaming interface.
- FIR Filters
Single rate FIRs now support streaming interfaces as well as to window interfaces.
- FFT/iFFT
FFT now supports streaming interfaces as well as to window interfaces. In addition, FFT now offers improved performance and greater point size support with parallelization.
2021.1¶
The AI Engine DSP Library contains common parameterizable DSP functions used in many advanced signal processing applications. All functions currently support window interfaces with streaming interface support planned for future releases.
Note
Namespace aliasing can be utilized to shorten instantiations: namespace dsplib = xf::dsp::aie;
- FIR Filters
The DSPLib contains several variants of Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters.
| Function | Namespace and class name |
|---|---|
| Single rate, asymmetrical | dsplib::fir::sr_asym::fir_sr_asym_graph |
| Single rate, symmetrical | dsplib::fir::sr_sym::fir_sr_sym_graph |
| Interpolation asymmetrical | dsplib::fir::interpolate_asym::fir_interpolate_asym_graph |
| Decimation, halfband | dsplib::fir::decimate_hb::fir_decimate_hb_graph |
| Interpolation, halfband | dsplib::fir::interpolate_hb::fir_interpolate_hb_graph |
| Decimation, asymmetric | dsplib::fir::decimate_asym::fir_decimate_asym_graph |
| Interpolation, fractional, asymmetric | dsplib::fir::interpolate_fract_asym:: fir_interpolate_fract_asym_graph |
| Decimation, symmetric | dsplib::fir::decimate_sym::fir_decimate_sym_graph |
All FIR filters can be configured for various types of data and coefficients. These types can be int16, int32, or float and also real or complex. Both FIR length and cascade length can also be configured for all FIR variants.
- FFT/iFFT
The DSPLib contains one FFT/iFFT solution. This is a single channel, single kernel decimation in time, (DIT), implementation with configurable point size, complex data types, cascade length and FFT/iFFT function.
| Function | Namespace and class name |
|---|---|
| Single Channel FFT/iFFT | dsplib::fft::fft_ifft_dit_1ch_graph |
- Matrix Multiply (GeMM)
The DSPLib contains one Matrix Multiply/GEMM (GEneral Matrix Multiply) solution. This supports the Matrix Multiplication of 2 Matrices A and B with configurable input data types resulting in a derived output data type.
| Function | Namespace and class name |
|---|---|
| Matrix Mult / GeMM | dsplib::blas::matrix_mult::matrix_mult_graph |
- Widget Utilities
These widgets support converting between window and streams on the input to the DSPLib function and between streams to windows on the output of the DSPLib function where desired and additional widget for converting between real and complex data-types.
| Function | Namespace and class name |
|---|---|
| Stream to Window / Window to Stream | dsplib::widget::api_cast::widget_api_cast_graph |
| Real to Complex / Complex to Real | dsplib:widget::real2complex::widget_real2complex_graph |
- AIE DSP in Model Composer
DSP Library functions are supported in Vitis Model Composer, enabling users to easily plug these functions into the Matlab/Simulink environment to ease AI Engine DSP Library evaluation and overall AI Engine ADF graph development.
2020.2¶
Revised the APIs to fully support Vitis HLS.
2020.1¶
The 1.0 release introduces L1 HLS primitives for Discrete Fourier Transform for 1-D and 2-D input data.
