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 a plurality of operators and (iii) schedule the operators in one or more data paths based on a readiness of the operators to be processed. 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.
