  • Patent number: 11809221
    Abstract: An artificial intelligence chip and a data operation method are provided. The artificial intelligence chip receives a command carrying first data and address information and includes a chip memory, a computing processor, a base address register, and an extended address processor. The base address register is configured to access an extended address space in the chip memory. The extended address processor receives the command. The extended address processor determines an operation mode of the first data according to the address information. When the address information points to a first section of the extended address space, the extended address processor performs a first operation on the first data. When the address information points to a section other than the first section of the extended address space, the extended address processor notifies the computing processor of the operation mode and the computing processor performs a second operation on the first data.

  • Patent number: 11748077
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for compiling code adapted for secondary offloads in a graphics processing unit (GPU). The method, performed by a processing unit, includes: reconstructing execution codes in a first kernel into a second kernel. The second kernel includes an operation table including entries, and computation codes. The computation codes include a portion of the execution codes, and synchronization hooks, and each synchronization hook includes information indicating one entry of the operation table. An order of the portion of the execution codes and the synchronization hooks in the computation codes matches an order of the execution codes in the first kernel, thereby enabling a compute unit (CU) in the GPU to execute the computation codes, and an engine in the GPU to instruct a component inside or outside of the GPU to complete a designated operation in accordance with content of each entry in the operation table.
