  • Managed bulk memory
    Patent number: 11449254
    Abstract: A system and method for providing a set of data transfer instructions for converting one or more tensors between two different layouts. A first layout is used for storage of the data in host memory. A second layout is used for storage of the data in external memory accessible to a subsystem. The subsystem acts as a work accelerator to the host, and reads the external memory and processes the data read from the external memory. The first layout may be a logical representation of the tensor. The second layout is optimised for transfer to and processing by the subsystem. The data transfer instructions for converting between the two layouts are generated in dependence upon an analysis of the instructions to be executed by the subsystem.
