What is Vitis?

Vitis is a unified software platform from Xilinx (now AMD) that enables developers to accelerate diverse workloads across different Xilinx hardware architectures, including FPGAs, SoCs, and Versal ACAPs. It provides a high-level programming environment using familiar languages like C, C++, and Python, abstracting away much of the low-level hardware details. Vitis is commonly used for accelerating computationally intensive tasks in areas like data analytics, artificial intelligence, image and video processing, and scientific computing.
