Method and apparatus for controlling data transfer of artificial intelligence processor based on extended instruction set

Abstract

Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for controlling data transfer of an artificial intelligence (AI) processor based on an extended instruction set. The AI processing apparatus includes a programmable processor core; and an operation accelerator not included in a pipeline path of the processor core, wherein the processor core includes a basic instruction set for performing a matrix multiplication operation and an activation function operation and an extended instruction set for data transfer with the operation accelerator, and wherein the extended instruction set is configured to perform data reading, writing and state control with the operation accelerator, a memory, an address region other than the memory, and a register group along a pipeline path of the processor core.
