AMD Adaptive Computing Summit in Review

London | 2024

We had an excellent experience showcasing our VCS³ at the AMD Adaptive Computing Summit. The event provided the perfect platform for us and our partner, Trenz Electronic, to demonstrate our products to a highly engaged and knowledgeable audience. Thomas Brünger gave an insightful presentation at the summit on the range of technical capabilities, products, and services that Trenz Electronic can offer.

Interest in our booth was continuous, with people drawn to Trenz Electronic’s live human pose detection demo. We had a small selection of products from Trenz’s extensive range available to view at the booth alongside Sundance’s VCS³. From the outset, it was clear that attendees were eager to see how the VCS³ leverages FPGA technologies in such a small package with low power consumption. It led to several insightful conversations about future collaboration opportunities and ways we can further innovate within the adaptive computing space.

Overall, the feedback we received about the VCS³ was overwhelmingly positive the AMD Adaptive Computing Summit provided the ideal stage to showcase the VCS³s potential, validate our vision, and connect with a community of forward-thinking professionals. It was an experience that exceeded our expectations and left us excited about the future possibilities.

Congratulations to Paul Metzgen, who won the raffle for a VCS³.

VCS³ – Probably the smallest Single Board Computer based on an AMD Zynq MPSoC

Also available to view at the show will be our recently released VCS³, an ultra-compact, low-power, Vision, Control and Sensors Solution for Precision Robotics.

The VCS³ is a small Single-Board-Computer with an AMD© ZYNQ™ device with integrated ARM CPUs and FPGA fabric. Measuring just 30mm x 50mm, this tiny workhorse can be placed almost anywhere, opening up the benefits of FPGAs to many more applications.

The VCS³ utilizes an AMD UltraScale+ MPSoC coupled with high-speed LP-DDR4 memory to produce a highly compact evaluation platform. Together with four digital camera interfaces, a 9-axis IMU, and a CAN-Bus interface, this platform is ideally suited for autonomous machines, cameras or automation. Device booting can be from SPI ROMs or eMMC flash, with no bulky, fiddly or unreliable SD cards. Numerous onboard power rails are generated from a single external 5V supply, or via a USB3 Type-C interface.
