Abstract

See full text

Described herein is a neural network accelerator with a set of neural processing units and an instruction set for execution on the neural processing units. The instruction set is a compact instruction set including various compute and data move instructions for implementing a neural network. Among the compute instructions are an instruction for performing a fused operation comprising sequential computations, one of which involves matrix multiplication, and an instruction for performing an elementwise vector operation. The instructions in the instruction set are highly configurable and can handle data elements of variable size. The instructions also implement a synchronization mechanism that allows asynchronous execution of data move and compute operations across different components of the neural network accelerator as well as between multiple instances of the neural network accelerator.
