Abstract: A method performed by a processor for permuting dimensions of a multi-dimensional tensor is described. The multi-dimensional tensor contains an array of tensor values in three or more dimensions that are stored in a first storage unit. The array of tensor values is transferred from the first storage unit to a second storage unit by reading tensor values from the first storage that are arrayed along a first dimension of the multi-dimensional tensor and writing the corresponding tensor values to the second storage in locations corresponding to a second dimension of the multi-dimensional tensor. The dimensions of the multi-dimensional tensor may be further permuted by a programmable engine within the processor.
