Deterministic memory for tensor streaming processors

A method of deterministic computing at a deterministic streaming system, the method comprising:

• initiating streaming of data between a first deterministic memory of a deterministic streaming processor of the deterministic streaming system and an array of processing elements of the deterministic streaming processor;
• initiating retrieval of first data from a plurality of data banks of a second deterministic memory of the deterministic streaming system as a first plurality of streams, each stream of the first plurality of streams streaming toward a respective group of processing elements of the array of processing elements, the second deterministic memory having a global memory address space for one or more deterministic streaming processors of the deterministic streaming system;
• and
• initiating writing of second data to the plurality of data banks as a second plurality of streams, each stream of the second plurality of streams streaming from the respective group of processing elements toward a respective data bank of the second deterministic memory,
• wherein the one or more deterministic streaming processors comprise a plurality of deterministic streaming processors organized as a node of the deterministic streaming system, and the method further comprising:
• assigning each of the deterministic streaming processors to a respective pair of pseudo channels of a plurality of pseudo channels of the second deterministic memory;
• and
• initiating streaming of data between each of the deterministic streaming processors and a respective data bank of the plurality of data banks of the second deterministic memory associated with the respective pair of pseudo channels.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon executable instructions, which when executed by a computer processor cause the computer processor to:

• initiate streaming of data between a first deterministic memory of a deterministic streaming processor of a deterministic streaming system and an array of processing elements of the deterministic streaming processor;
• initiate retrieval of first data from a plurality of data banks of a second deterministic memory of the deterministic streaming system as a first plurality of streams, each stream of the first plurality of streams streaming toward a respective group of processing elements of the array of processing elements, the second deterministic memory having a global memory address space for one or more deterministic streaming processors of the deterministic streaming system;
• and
• initiate writing of second data to the plurality of data banks as a second plurality of streams, each stream of the second plurality of streams streaming from the respective group of processing elements toward a respective data bank of the second deterministic memory,
• wherein the one or more deterministic streaming processors comprise a plurality of deterministic streaming processors organized as a node of the deterministic streaming system, and the method further comprising:
• assigning each of the deterministic streaming processors to a respective pair of pseudo channels of a plurality of pseudo channels of the second deterministic memory;
• and
• initiating streaming of data between each of the deterministic streaming processors and a respective data bank of the plurality of data banks of the second deterministic memory associated with the respective pair of pseudo channels.
