Data processing method and apparatus applied to graphics processing unit, and electronic device

A data processing apparatus comprising:

• a to-be-processed matrix reading unit adapted to read a to-be-processed matrix from memory corresponding to a target computation unit into register of the target computation unit;
• a first preset operation execution unit adapted to:
• in a process of reading the to-be-processed matrix from the registers into shared memory corresponding to the registers, perform a first preset operation on the to-be-processed matrix to obtain an initial matrix corresponding to the to-be-processed matrix;
• and
• a second preset operation execution unit, adapted to:
• in a process of reading the initial matrix from the shared memory into the registers, perform a second preset operation on the initial matrix to obtain a target matrix meeting a matrix multiplication operation requirement of the target computation unit dedicated to matrix-related operations.

A data processing method comprising:

• obtaining a to-be-processed matrix including at least one of a first matrix arranged in column-major order and a second matrix arranged in row-major order;
• reading the to-be-processed matrix from memory into registers in a target computation unit,;
• in a process of reading the to-be-processed matrix from the registers into shared memory corresponding to the registers of the target computation unit, performing a first preset operation on the to-be-processed matrix to obtain an initial matrix corresponding to the to-be-processed matrix;
• in a process of reading the initial matrix from the shared memory into the registers of the target computation unit, performing a second preset operation on the initial matrix to obtain a target matrix meeting a matrix multiplication operation requirement of the target computation unit;
• and
• performing a matrix multiplication operation on the target matrix by using the target computation unit.
