US 11,886,880 B2 · Data processing apparatus and related products with descriptor management

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 method, comprising:

determining that a decoded processing instruction is a descriptor management instruction fir managing a descriptor indicates a shape of a tensor data;
obtaining a management parameter of the descriptor in the processing instruction, wherein the management parameter includes at least one of an identifier of the descriptor, the shape of the tensor data indicated by the descriptor, or content of the tensor data indicated by the descriptor;
determining a first storage area for content of the descriptor in a descriptor storage space and a second storage area for the tensor data in a data storage space based on the management parameter;
and
executing the descriptor management instruction to manage the descriptor by interacting with the first storage area and the second storage area.
