Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus for accessing a N-dimensional tensor are described. In some implementations, a method includes, for each of one or more first iterations of a first nested loop, performing iterations of a second nested loop that is nested within the first nested loop until a first loop bound for the second nested loop is reached. A number of iterations of the second nested loop for the one or more first iterations of the first nested loop is limited by the first loop bound in response to the second nested loop having a total number of iterations that exceeds a value of a hardware property of the computing system. After a penultimate iteration of the first nested loop has completed, one or more iterations of the second nested loop are performed for a final iteration of the first nested loop until an alternative loop bound is reached.
