More Information
Summary:A network of matrix processing units (MPUs) is provided on a device, where each MPU is connected to at least one other MPU in the network, and each MPU is to perform matrix multiplication operations. Computer memory stores tensor data and a master control central processing unit (MCC) is provided on the device to receive an instruction from a host device, where the instruction includes one or more tensor operands based on the tensor data. The MCC invokes a set of operations on one or more of the MPUs based on the instruction, where the set of operations includes operations on the tensor operands. A result is generated from the set of operations, the result embodied as a tensor value.
