| ▼Basic Types | The two main types offered by the AIE API are vectors (aie::vector) and accumulators (aie::accum) | 
| Basic Type Initialization | |
| Vector and Accumulator Conversions | Vectors can be reinterpreted as vectors with a different element type, as long as they have the same total size | 
| Concepts for Basic Types | |
| Accumulator Element Types | Accumulators in AIE API rely on the aie::accum class template | 
| Lazy Operations | AIE architectures offer multiplication instructions that can perform additional operations on on the input arguments | 
| Memory | Each AIE core has access to up to 4 Data Memories (DM) | 
| Initialization | Operations to initialize vectors and accumulators | 
| Arithmetic | AIE API provides a set of functions that implement arithmetic operations on vector types | 
| Bits | Bitwise logical operations | 
| Comparison | Vector comparison operations | 
| Reduction | Vector reduction operations | 
| Reshaping | AIE API provides operations to change the location of the elements within a vector and to combine the elements from two or more vectors | 
| Floating-point Conversion | |
| ▼Elementary Functions | |
| Floating-point Scalar Operations | |
| Matrix Multiplication | The AIE API encapsulates the matrix multiplication functionality in the aie::mmul class template | 
| Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) | |
| Special Multiplications | AIE provides hardware support to accelerate special multiplications that can be used to accelerate specific application use cases like (but not limited to) signal processing | 
| Lookup Tables | |
| Operator Overloading | The AIE API provides overloading for most of the available operators | 
| Interoperability with Adaptive Data Flow (ADF) Graph Abstractions | ADF graphs use data flow abstractions to read input data and write output data | 
| ▼Uility functions and classes | |
| Print functions | These functions provide an abstraction on top of printf that allow users to display the contents of AIE types in the standard output | 
| Loop unrolling functions | These functions allow users to explicitly unroll the body of a loop |
