Abstract
Disclosed herein is a processor for deep learning. In one embodiment, the processor comprises: a load and store unit configured to load and store image pixel data and stencil data; a register unit, implementing a banked register file, configured to: load and store a subset of the image pixel data from the load and store unit, and concurrently provide access to image pixel values stored in a register file entry of the banked register file, wherein the subset of the image pixel data comprises the image pixel values stored in the register file entry; and a plurality of arithmetic logic units configured to concurrently perform one or more operations on the image pixel values stored in the register file entry and corresponding stencil data of the stencil data.
Claims1
A processor comprising:
- a register file:
- comprising a set of banks;
- and
- configured to store image data;
- an interconnect unit in communication with the register file and configured to access:
- a subset of the image data from the register file;
- and
- stencil data for the subset of pixel data;
- and
- a set of logic units in communication with the interconnect unit and configured to execute a set of stencil operations on the subset of the image pixel data and the stencil data, the set of stencil operations representing a larger stencil operation characterized by at least two-dimensions.
