Abstract
Disclosed herein is a processor for deep learning. In one embodiment, the processor comprises: a load and store unit configured to load and store image pixel data and stencil data; a register unit, implementing a banked register file, configured to: load and store a subset of the image pixel data from the load and store unit, and concurrently provide access to image pixel values stored in a register file entry of the banked register file, wherein the subset of the image pixel data comprises the image pixel values stored in the register file entry; and a plurality of arithmetic logic units configured to concurrently perform one or more operations on the image pixel values stored in the register file entry and corresponding stencil data of the stencil data.
