  • Publication number: 20190258920
    Abstract: Techniques in advanced deep learning provide improvements in one or more of accuracy, performance, and energy efficiency. An array of processing elements performs flow-based computations on wavelets of data. Each processing element has a respective compute element and a respective routing element. Instructions executed by the compute element include operand specifiers, some specifying a data structure register storing a data structure descriptor describing an operand as a fabric vector or a memory vector. The data structure descriptor further describes the memory vector as one of a one-dimensional vector, a four-dimensional vector, or a circular buffer vector. Optionally, the data structure descriptor specifies an extended data structure register storing an extended data structure descriptor. The extended data structure descriptor specifies parameters relating to a four-dimensional vector or a circular buffer vector.

  • Publication number: 20190258919
    Abstract: Techniques in advanced deep learning provide improvements in one or more of accuracy, performance, and energy efficiency. An array of processing elements performs flow-based computations on wavelets of data. Each processing element has a compute element with dedicated storage and a routing element. Each router enables communication with nearest neighbors in a 2D mesh. The communication is via wavelets in accordance with a representation comprising an index specifier, a virtual channel specifier, a task specifier, a data element specifier, and an optional control/data specifier. The virtual channel specifier and the task specifier are associated with one or more instructions. The index specifier and the data element are optionally associated with operands of the one or more instructions.
