Abstract

Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, machine-readable media, and devices which operate a neural network defined by user code. A method includes identifying, operations from user code that are integral in operating the neural network, combining a subset of the identified operations into a single processing sequence to be transmitted to an array of hardware processors, performing operations that are not integral in operation of the neural network in a separate thread of execution from the operations that are integral in operating the neural network; and mapping results to the combined operations that were included in the single processing sequence.
