Tutorials/Edge Computing/Alveo Getting Started

-== Getting Started with Xilinx Alveo
+== Getting Started with Alveo FPGA acceleration ==
+
+=== Description ===
+Compute servers in COSMOS, and cloud computing nodes in ORBIT Sandbox 9 are equipped with Alveo U200 accelerator cards (with Virtex UltraScale+ XCU200-2FSGD2104E FPGA). These cards can be used to accelerate compute-intensive applications such as d machine learning, and video processing. They are connected to the Intel Xeon host CPU over PCI Express® (PCIe) Gen3x16 bus. 
+
+This tutorial demonstrates how to run an accelerated FPGA kernel on the above platform. Vitis unified software platform 2019.2 is used for developing and deploying the application.
+
+=== Prerequisites ===
+In order to access the test bed, create a reservation and have it approved by the reservation service. Access to the resources is granted after the reservation is confirmed. Please follow the process shown on [wiki:cosmos_workflow the COSMOS work flow page] to get started. 
+
+=== Resources required ===
+1 COSMOS compute server or 1 node in ORBIT SB9.
+
+=== Execution ===
+
+==== Prepare the node ====
+
+ 
+* Load alveo_runtime.ndz on a reserved server/node. This image comes with XRT(Xilinx Run Time) and Alveo U200 XDMA deployment shell installed.  
+  {{{
+  
+  }}}
+
+* Turn the node on
+  {{{
+  
+  }}}
+
+* Check the status
+  {{{
+  
+  }}}
+  {{{
+  -----------------------------------------------
+  Node: node19-1.grid.orbit-lab.org       State: POWERON
+  Node: node20-1.grid.orbit-lab.org       State: POWERON
+  -----------------------------------------------
+  }}}
+
+* ssh to the node
+  {{{
+  
+  }}}
+
+==== Check Alveo ====
+* lspci
+* xbutil
+  
+
+
+==== Run the application ====
