Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including an apparatus for accessing data. In some implementations, an apparatus includes address offset value elements that are each configured to store an address offset value. For each address offset value element, the apparatus can include address computation elements that each store a value used to determine the address offset value. One or more processors are configured to receive a program for performing computations using tensor elements of a tensor. The processor(s) can identify, in the program, a prologue or epilogue loop having a corresponding data array for storing values of the prologue or epilogue loop and populate, for a first address offset value element that corresponds to the prologue or epilogue loop, the address computation elements for the first address offset value element with respective values based at least on a number of iterations of the prologue or epilogue loop.
