Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose an artificial intelligence chip and an instruction execution method for an artificial intelligence chip. A specific embodiment of the artificial intelligence chip includes: an instruction memory, a data memory, at least one general execution unit, and at least one dedicated execution unit. The instruction memory is configured to: receive a kernel code including at least one code block. The general execution unit is configured to: receive the code block, lock the dedicated execution unit associated with the received code block, and send an instruction in the received code block to the locked dedicated execution unit. The dedicated execution unit is configured to: execute the received instruction, and store an execution result in the data memory. The data memory is configured to: store the execution result sent by the dedicated execution unit.
