  • Publication number: 20240134786
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for sparse tensor storage for neural network accelerators. An example apparatus includes sparsity map generating circuitry to generate a sparsity map corresponding to a tensor, the sparsity map to indicate whether a data point of the tensor is zero, static storage controlling circuitry to divide the tensor into one or more storage elements, and a compressor to perform a first compression of the one or more storage elements to generate one or more compressed storage elements, the first compression to remove zero points of the one or more storage elements based on the sparsity map and perform a second compression of the one or more compressed storage elements, the second compression to store the one or more compressed storage elements contiguously in memory.

  • Publication number: 20240118992
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to debug a hardware accelerator such as a neural network accelerator for executing Artificial Intelligence computational workloads. An example apparatus includes a core with a core input and a core output to execute executable code based on a machine-learning model to generate a data output based on a data input, and debug circuitry coupled to the core. The debug circuitry is configured to detect a breakpoint associated with the machine-learning model, compile executable code based on at least one of the machine-learning model or the breakpoint. In response to the triggering of the breakpoint, the debug circuitry is to stop the execution of the executable code and output data such as the data input, data output and the breakpoint for debugging the hardware accelerator.
