Accelerator and system for accelerating operations

Abstract

An accelerator and a system for accelerating operations are disclosed. A respective apparatus comprises an interface configured to couple the apparatus to an interconnect, a plurality of processing modules, each processing module configured to process data, a control module configured to control processing of each of the plurality of processing modules, and a cache module configured to store at least a portion of data processed by at least one of the plurality of processing modules. Each processing module includes a processing core configured to process data by performing an operation on the data using a plurality of processing elements, an input control unit configured to retrieve data via the interface and data stored in the cache module and to provide the retrieved data to the processing core, and an output control unit configured to provide data processed by the processing core to the interface and the cache module.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
