  • Publication number: 20230359876
    Abstract: Generating instructions for programming a processing element array to implement a convolution operation can include determining that the convolution operation under-utilizes the processing element array. The convolution operation involves using the processing element array to perform a series of matrix multiplications between a set of filters and a set of input matrices. Each filter comprises a weight matrix. Each input matrix is assigned to a respective row in the processing element array. Under-utilization can be determined through detecting that less than a threshold number of rows would be used concurrently. In response to determining that the convolution operation under-utilizes the processing element array, instructions can be added for modifying the convolution operation to increase the number of rows used concurrently. The added instructions are executable to cause at least one input matrix to be processed in parallel across more rows compared to processing without modifying the convolution operation.

  • Patent number: 11797876
    Abstract: Techniques for optimizing and deploying convolutional neural network (CNN) machine learning models for inference using integrated graphics processing units are described. A model compilation system optimizes CNN models using optimized vision-specific operators as well as both graph-level tuning and tensor-level tuning to explore the optimization space for achieving heightened performance. The model compilation system may also implement a heuristic-based two-stage technique for falling back certain operators of CNN models to use CPUs when needed or otherwise beneficial.

  • Publication number: 20210158131
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for hierarchical partitioning of operators of a neural network for execution on an acceleration engine are provided. Neural networks are built in machine learning frameworks using neural network operators. The neural network operators are compiled into executable code for the acceleration engine. Development of new framework-level operators can exceed the capability to map the newly developed framework-level operators onto the acceleration engine. To enable neural networks to be executed on an acceleration engine, hierarchical partitioning can be used to partition the operators of the neural network. The hierarchical partitioning can identify operators that are supported by a compiler for execution on the acceleration engine, operators to be compiled for execution on a host processor, and operators to be executed on the machine learning framework.
