Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to multi-processor arrangements and, more particularly, to broadcast regions for multi-processor arrangements.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of processing tiles, wherein individual processing tiles of the plurality of processing tiles to comprise one or more processing units;
- and
- an interconnect to electronically couple the individual processing tiles of the plurality of processing tiles to two or more other processing tiles of the plurality of processing tiles;
- wherein the plurality of processing tiles to be dynamically partitioned into one or more broadcast regions;
- and
- wherein at least one first processing tile of the plurality of processing tiles to comprise a broadcast hub for a first broadcast region of the one or more broadcast regions, wherein the broadcast hub for the first broadcast region to initiate distribution of a plurality of parameters applicable to a first operation for execution by one or more processing tiles within the first broadcast region.
