Abstract
An apparatus includes a scheduler circuit and a plurality of hardware engines. The scheduler circuit may be configured to (i) store a directed acyclic graph, (ii) parse the directed acyclic graph into one or more operators and (iii) schedule the one or more operators in one or more data paths. The hardware engines may be (i) configured as a plurality of the data paths and (ii) configured to generate one or more output vectors by processing zero or more input vectors using the operators. One or more of the hardware engines supports a range of multiple dimensions of the input vectors from zero dimensions to at least four dimensions.
