Xylon Showcases the World's Fastest 3D Graphics Engine for Xilinx Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC

December 11 2012, (Croatia) – Xylon has ported company's 3D Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) to the Xilinx® Zynq™-7000 All Programmable SoC ZC706 Evaluation Kit. The Xilinx ZC706 evaluation board features the XC7Z045 FFG900-2 SoC with the Xilinx 7 Series Kintex™-7 FPGA equivalent programmable logic. The logi3D Scalable 3D Graphics Accelerator IP core configured for speed, and running on the advanced programmable logic, enables 3D graphics rendering speeds previously unseen in programmable logic devices.

The current logicBRICKS GPU implementation is 3 times faster than previous graphics engine implementations demonstrated by popular Xylon's reference designs for the Xilinx ZC702 Evaluation Kit or the ZedBoard™ Development Board from Avnet Electronics Marketing .
