Abstract
Apparatus and methods for processing neural network models are provided. The apparatus can comprise a plurality of identical artificial intelligence processing dies. Each artificial intelligence processing die among the plurality of identical artificial intelligence processing dies can include at least one inter-die input block and at least one inter-die output block. Each artificial intelligence processing die among the plurality of identical artificial intelligence processing dies is communicatively coupled to another artificial intelligence processing die among the plurality of identical artificial intelligence processing dies by way of one or more communication paths from the at least one inter-die output block of the artificial intelligence processing die to the at least one inter-die input block of the artificial intelligence processing die. Each artificial intelligence processing die among the plurality of identical artificial intelligence processing dies corresponds to at least one layer of a neural network.
