Publication number: 20240176737Abstract: A processor having a functional slice architecture is divided into a plurality of functional units (“tiles”) organized into a plurality of slices. Each slice is configured to perform specific functions within the processor, which may include memory slices (MEM) for storing operand data, and arithmetic logic slices for performing operations on received operand data. The tiles of the processor are configured to stream operand data across a first dimension, and receive instructions across a second dimension orthogonal to the first dimension. The timing of data and instruction flows are configured such that corresponding data and instructions are received at each tile with a predetermined temporal relationship, allowing operand data to be transmitted between the slices of the processor without any accompanying metadata. Instead, each slice is able to determine what operations to perform on received data based upon the timing at which the data is received.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2023Publication date: May 30, 2024Inventors: Jonathan Alexander Ross, Dennis Charles Abts, John Thompson, Gregory M. Thorson

Publication number: 20240144044Abstract: A system receives a predictive model and receives one or more runtime constraints. The system generates a directed acyclic graph (DAG) of the predictive model indicating dependencies. The system compiles the predictive model into first instructions for a first processor based on the one or more runtime constraints and the DAG. The system packages first instructions, the one or more runtime constraints, and the DAG of the predictive model in a first binary. The system recompiles the predictive model into second instructions for a second processor based on the runtime constraints and the DAG stored in the first processor. The system packages the second instructions, the DAG, and the runtime constraints in a second binary.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Jonathan Alexander Ross, Gregory M. Thorson
