  • Patent number: 11948224
    Abstract: One embodiment provides an apparatus comprising a memory stack including multiple memory dies and a parallel processor including a plurality of multiprocessors. Each multiprocessor has a single instruction, multiple thread (SIMT) architecture, the parallel processor coupled to the memory stack via one or more memory interfaces. At least one multiprocessor comprises a multiply-accumulate circuit to perform multiply-accumulate operations on matrix data in a stage of a neural network implementation to produce a result matrix comprising a plurality of matrix data elements at a first precision, precision tracking logic to evaluate metrics associated with the matrix data elements and indicate if an optimization is to be performed for representing data at a second stage of the neural network implementation, and a numerical transform unit to dynamically perform a numerical transform operation on the matrix data elements based on the indication to produce transformed matrix data elements at a second precision.

  • Patent number: 11922535
    Abstract: Embodiments provide mechanisms to facilitate compute operations for deep neural networks. One embodiment comprises a graphics processing unit comprising one or more multiprocessors, at least one of the one or more multiprocessors including a register file to store a plurality of different types of operands and a plurality of processing cores. The plurality of processing cores includes a first set of processing cores of a first type and a second set of processing cores of a second type. The first set of processing cores are associated with a first memory channel and the second set of processing cores are associated with a second memory channel.
