Abstract: A computing system including an application processor and a direct dataflow compute-in-memory accelerator. The direct dataflow compute-in-memory accelerator executes is configured to an execute accelerator task on accelerator data to generate an accelerator task result. An accelerator driver is configured to stream the accelerator task data from the application processor to the direct dataflow compute-in-memory architecture without placing a load on the application processor. The accelerator drive can also return the accelerator task result to the application processor.

Abstract: A memory processing unit (MPU) configuration method can include mapping operations of one or more neural network models to sets of cores in a plurality of processing regions. In addition, dataflow of the one or more neural network models can be mapped to the sets of cores in the plurality of processing regions.
