Abstract

The present disclosure provides a data processing apparatus and related products. The products include a control module including an instruction caching unit, an instruction processing unit, and a storage queue unit. The instruction caching unit is configured to store computation instructions associated with an artificial neural network operation; the instruction processing unit is configured to parse the computation instructions to obtain a plurality of operation instructions; and the storage queue unit is configured to store an instruction queue, where the instruction queue includes a plurality of operation instructions or computation instructions to be executed in the sequence of the queue. By adopting the above-mentioned method, the present disclosure can improve the operation efficiency of related products when performing operations of a neural network model.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A data processing apparatus, comprising a control circuit and an execution circuit, wherein the control circuit includes a tensor control module, and the control circuit is configured to:

determine that an operand of a decoded first processing instruction includes an identifier of a descriptor;
determine a descriptor storage space storing the descriptor, by the tensor control module, according to the identifier of the descriptor, wherein the descriptor indicates a shape of a tensor data;
obtain content of the descriptor from the descriptor storage space;
and
send the content of the descriptor and the first processing instruction to the execution circuit, for the execution circuit to execute the first processing instruction on the tensor data obtained according to the content of the descriptor.
