  • Publication number: 20240045719
    Abstract: A computing device, including a processor configured to perform data transfer scheduling for a hardware accelerator including a plurality of processing areas. Performing data transfer scheduling may include receiving a plurality of data transfer instructions that encode requests to transfer data to respective processing areas. Performing data transfer scheduling may further include identifying a plurality of transfer path conflicts between the data transfer instructions. Performing data transfer scheduling may further include sorting the data transfer instructions into a plurality of transfer instruction subsets. Within each transfer instruction subset, none of the data transfer instructions have transfer path conflicts. For each transfer instruction subset, performing data transfer scheduling may further include conveying the data transfer instructions included in that transfer instruction subset to the hardware accelerator.
