  • Patent number: 11321096
    Abstract: Hardware units and methods for performing matrix multiplication via a multi-stage pipeline wherein the storage elements associated with one or more stages of the pipeline are clock gated based on the data elements and/or portions thereof that known to have a zero value (or can be treated as having a zero value). In some cases, the storage elements may be clock gated on a per data element basis based on whether the data element has a zero value (or can be treated as having a zero value). In other cases, the storage elements may be clock gated on a partial element basis based on the bit width of the data elements. For example, if bit width of the data elements is less than a maximum bit width for the data elements then a portion of the bits related to that data element can be treated as having a zero value and a portion of the storage elements associated with that data element may not be clocked. In yet other cases the storage elements may be clock gated on both a per element and a partial element basis.

  • Patent number: 11314509
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises processing circuitry to issue load operations to load data from memory. In response to a plural-register-load instruction specifying at least two destination registers to be loaded with data from respective target addresses, the processing circuitry permits issuing of separate load operations corresponding to the plural-register-load instruction. Load tracking circuitry maintains tracking information for one or more issued load operations. When the plural-register-load instruction is subject to an atomicity requirement and the plurality of load operations are issued separately, the load tracking circuitry detects, based on the tracking information, whether a loss-of-atomicity condition has occurred for the load operations corresponding to the plural-register-load instruction, and requests re-processing of the plural-register-load instruction when the loss-of-atomicity condition is detected.

  • Patent number: 11256508
    Abstract: Software instructions are executed on a processor within a computer system to configure a steaming engine with stream parameters to define a multidimensional array. The stream parameters define a size for each dimension of the multidimensional array, a null vector count (N), and a selected dimension. Data is fetched from a memory coupled to the streaming engine responsive to the stream parameters. A stream of vectors is formed for the multidimensional array responsive to the stream parameters from the data fetched from memory. N null stream vectors are inserted into the stream of vectors for the selected dimension without fetching respective null data from the memory.

  • Patent number: 11249759
    Abstract: Software instructions are executed on a processor within a computer system to configure a steaming engine with stream parameters to define a multidimensional array. The stream parameters define a size for each dimension of the multidimensional array and a specified width for two selected dimensions of the array. Data is fetched from a memory coupled to the streaming engine responsive to the stream parameters. A stream of vectors is formed for the multidimensional array responsive to the stream parameters from the data fetched from memory. When either selected dimension in the stream of vectors exceeds a respective specified width, the streaming engine inserts null elements into each portion of a respective vector for the selected dimension that exceeds the specified width in the stream of vectors. Stream vectors that are completely null are formed by the streaming engine without accessing the system memory for respective data.
