Abstract
A system to support a machine learning (ML) operation comprises an array-based inference engine comprising a plurality of processing tiles each comprising at least one or more of an on-chip memory (OCM) configured to maintain data for local access by components in the processing tile and one or more processing units configured to perform one or more computation tasks on the data in the OCM by executing a set of task instructions. The system also comprises a data streaming engine configured to stream data between a memory and the OCMs and an instruction streaming engine configured to distribute said set of task instructions to the corresponding processing tiles to control their operations and to synchronize said set of task instructions to be executed by each processing tile, respectively, to wait current certain task at each processing tile to finish before starting a new one.
