Abstract
Tensor register files in a hardware accelerator are disclosed. An apparatus may comprise tensor operation calculators each configured to perform a type of tensor operation. The apparatus may also comprises tensor register files, each of which is associated with one of the tensor operation calculators. The apparatus may also comprises logic configured to store respective ones of the tensors in the plurality of tensor register files in accordance with the type of tensor operation to be performed on the respective tensors. The apparatus may also control read access to tensor register files based on a type of tensor operation that a machine instruction is to perform.
