Abstract

Aspects for generating a dot product for two vectors in neural network are described herein. The aspects may include a controller unit configured to receive a vector load instruction that includes a first address of a first vector and a length of the first vector. The aspects may further include a direct memory access unit configured to retrieve the first vector from a storage device based on the first address of the first vector. Further still, the aspects may include a caching unit configured to store the first vector.
